sagestats The USA connection is probably because of the volunteer pilots from there that flew in the Battle of Britain, later in the Eagle Squadron (whose march is also played). There were other foreign neutrals as well as belligerents that flew in the battle of course, but USA participation in the war was vital to victory and so this early involvement was very significant.
Ah, this is the RAF Drum Major who enjoys treading grapes whilst swatting flies with his right arm .... If he had a mirror he could see the Director of Music / Bandmaster behind him marching correctly. However, I have to say the music played is exceptionally good and the RAF Regiment are the most professional and finest body of marching men in this country, by far !! ...... SuperNutkin
