Awsome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjU67KLY1Tw

"The Polish Pilots flew and fought as they did when defending their homeland. We will remember them always and thank them for helping defend my homeland." Assuming that was a British quote.

Couldn't help but love the little Hurricane! And greatest air battle ever.

There is a movie about this unit. The highest scoring ace was actually a Czech pilot.




Scott_USN -> RE: OT EU Theater (3/23/2020 4:26:03 AM)

Yeah I think they mention that. Pretty awesome story!




Scott_USN -> RE: OT EU Theater (3/23/2020 4:27:02 AM)

Damn shame Poland didn't get freedom in 1945! Our greatest let down.

Correction: the Communists shot the intellectuals and leaders of any kind. Many countries around the world have practiced socialism in a democratic system quite nicely. It was the Bolshevik/Communist idea that all opposition had to be liquidated to protect the revolution (the Dictatorship of the Proletariat). The poor Russian peasants and workers replaced an Autocratic Monarchy with an Autocratic Crapocracy.

There is decent movie about Polish pilots in RAF, 303 Squadron.

Unit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No._303_Squadron_RAF

No. 303 Squadron claimed the largest number of aircraft shot down of the 66 Allied fighter squadrons engaged in the Battle of Britain, even though it joined the fray two months after the battle had begun.[15]

That was claims, verified ones by various historians put numbers between 44-60. Lower number would put unit 4th highest-scoring, higher number to highest-scoring still in BoB.

About movie, aerial scenes are decently well made for low-budget movie.

I would actually totally disagree with that but not the place for it.
