The Polish Air Force Had A Big Impact In World War II
Perhaps the proudest piece of Poland’s set of experiences is the job their courageous military pilots played in World War II. Poland was the main country to tumble to Nazi, Germany and was completely involved by late 1939. In any case, that didn’t prevent many Polish individuals from battling, as they escaped across Europe prior to enlisting in another nation’s military and getting back to battle.
Long after Poland had been involved, the country’s pilots kept on battling bravely. Traversing Europe in the air or by walking, they would ultimately wind up in different nations, with many finding their direction to Britain where they flew for the UK’s Royal Air Force.
During the renowned Battle of Britain, 145 Polish military pilots battled in the air. One pilot, Sergeant Antoni Glowacki, killed five German planes in a solitary day! These Polish pilots are today respected as probably the boldest and best men to see battle against the Nazis.
