Well said patchman123!
It also bugs me that it seems that the only Polish squadron was 303!, 302 squadron was formed and operational before 303, bothe 315 and 317 were high scoring squadrons and never get a mention.
I have been lucky (and grateful) that someone had skinned both of my father's spitfires from his time with 317 and then as `A' flight leader of 3o2 sq flying out of Northolt. My father was an instructor at Deblin flying school when Skalski, Feric, Zumbach and Gladych et al graduated to become some of the famous pilots of WW2.
