Polish Aces of World War 2 PDF
by Robert Gretzyngier
Illustrated by Robert Gretzyngier
Part of the Aircraft of the Aces series
Description
Pilots of the Polish Air Force saw action from the first day of World War 2 until the final victory in Europe.
Flying hopelessly outmoded P.11 fighters in defence of their country in September 1939, a handful of aviators inflicted serious losses on the Luftwaffe before being overwhelmed.
The survivors escaped to then neutral Hungary and Romania, before being ordered to France by the new C-in-C of exiled Polish Armed Forces, General Sikorski.
With the invasion of Western Europe in May 1940, the surviving pilots were once more thrust into desperate action in newly-formed Polish units
