303 Polish Squadron - The Bloody Foreigners...

[Spitfire]

Don't know if this has been posted before - from Channel 4 there is this amazing story of the Polish pilots fighting for Britain:

Dear Spitfire,
I was so chuffed to see your post. In Poland the 303 squadron continues to be a legend. I guess my first English words came from stories about the Battle of Britain. Like Hurricane.

Søren, it's not bad at all. It came out here on DVD at the start of the year. If you want a copy I can pick one up for you.

The BoB doco with Ewan McGregor and his RAF brother was rather good as well, much better than I expected. Once again it's available on DVD here as well so if you want one let me know.

Hils til Dorthe også!

I remember the DC Comic series called the Blackhawks who supposedly include Polish airmen. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackhawk_(comics)

Hi Tim - thanks for the offer. I already bought the McGregor BoB thing when it came out. Great stuff.
