The discussion pauses to recognize Indian pilots who served with the Royal Air Force, including during the Battle of Britain. Their contribution deserves attention. Describing them as unknown becomes misleading when multiple books already use that framing. Overlooked is the more accurate term: it identifies a persistent failure of popular memory without pretending that the historical record or existing scholarship is absent.

Indian pilots were overlooked, not unknown
Repeatedly calling Indian airmen unknown can obscure both their wartime contribution and the scholarship that has already recovered it.
