POLISH AIR FORCE FIGHTER AIRCRAFT, 1943-45: On the Offensive, D-Day and Victory in Europe

1-245940

Discusses how Polish fighter pilots were crucial to RAF operations from 1939 to 1945, fighting valiantly across Europe, North Africa, and beyond. From the first combat over Poland in 1939, until Bomber Command's assault on Hitler's alpine retreat at Berchtesgaden in April 1945, when the red and white marked Mustangs escorted the bombers on their way to the target, there was no major RAF aerial operation undertaken in Europe without the involvement of Polish fighter squadrons and pilots. Examines Polish fighter actions in Europe, North Africa, and Asia. Contains 250 mono illustrations.
