POLISH AIR FORCE FIGHTER AIRCRAFT, 1940-1942: From the Battle of France to the Dieppe Raid

1-242050

Tells the story that the men and machines of the Polish squadrons underwent from the Battle of France to the Dieppe Raid. The latter was almost as disastrous in the air as it was on the ground - though, from the Polish perspective, it confirmed the long-developed skills of the 145 pilots who made it to Britain. With an impressive tally of 126 enemy aircraft destroyed over Poland, and a further 51 in France, the combat pilots, flying instructors, and test pilots had to be trained to serve under the command of the RAF. Contains 250+ mono illustrations.
