| Description: |
This workjwg is an account of Polish contribution in those hectic days before the RAF began to take the offensive across the Channel. It is augmented by many photographs from private collections. |
| Synopsis: |
To the Polish volunteers who were to fly so brilliantly and tenaciously throughout the Battle of Britain, the United Kingdom was known as "Last Hope Island". Many lost their lives, while many went on to become aces. Most importantly, the RAF came to depend on these men, with over 100 Polish pilots supporting almost 30 fighter squadrons. The result of years of research, this book includes detailed combat descriptions, personal accounts from combat reports, as well as memoir and diary excerpts that illustrate Polish, British and German perspectives. In addition, it presents in-depth biographical data of all Polish pilots, detailing full RAF and PAf careers, and much tabular material in appendix form. |
