Flying Officer George Ernest Goodman DFC (8 October 1920 – 14 June 1941), nicknamed Randy and Benny, was a Royal Air Force flying ace of the Second World War and one of the Few who flew in the Battle of Britain, credited with ten individual kills and six shared.

His parents left Haifa in 1939 when his father was transferred to Lagos, Nigeria as a British civil servant with the Nigerian Railway.

Goodman joined the Royal Air Force in 1939 and was granted a short service (six-year) commission on 2 September 1939 with the rank of Acting Pilot Officer.

Goodman was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for meritorious service during the Battle of Britain, which was gazetted on 26 November 1940.

In October, 1940, he assisted in the destruction of an enemy bomber which was attacking an aerodrome in the failing light at dusk.

En route to the Middle East, he stopped in Lagos and saw his mother; as the squadron flew out, they performed a barrel roll over the Goodman home.

On 4 February 1941, Goodman was credited with shooting down a German Bf 110 of III./ZG 26 at Tobruk and a Fiat CR.42 on Barce.

The pilot of the Italian fighter – who was killed – was Capitano Guglielmo Chiarini, an ace from 366ª Squadriglia, 151º Gruppo, 53º Stormo Caccia Terrestre, who flew Savoia-Marchetti S.79 bombers in Spanish Civil War, and had been awarded several times by Italy and Spain too.

In an article in Jewish Historical Studies, citing the work of Battle of Britain historian Kenneth G. Wynn and Royal Air Force Museum researcher John Edwards, historian Martin Sugarman concluded that Goodman was Jewish and "was in fact an Israeli 'sabra' and the only Israeli in the Battle of Britain".In 1997, the Israel Air Force Bulletin described him as "our first Ace, born in Israel".
