A friend's grandfather went over to the UK to fly with the Brits and then transferred back to the American services.

A not uncommon practice. In WWI, Americans who joined the French Lafayette Escadrille were welcomed into the U.S. Air Service. In WWII, all three RAF Eagle Squadrons were redesignated and became the three squadrons of the 4th Ftr. Grp. In China, members of the American Volunteer Group who came from the navy and Marines were welcomed back into their former branches, while soldiers became pilots in the 23d Ftr. Grp.
