The Forgotten Few: The Polish Air Force In The Second World War (2001) By Adam Zamoyski
By the beginning of 1941, there was a fully fledged Polish Air Force operating alongside the RAF. With 14 Squadrons, it was larger than any other of the Air Forces from Nazi-occupied Europe. Over 17,000 men and women passed through the ranks of the Polish Air Force while it was stationed in the UK. They shot down 745 enemy aircraft, with a further 175 unconfirmed. They dropped thousands of bombs and laid hundreds of mines, flying 102,486 sorties and notching up a total of 290,895 operational flying hours. They achieved this for 1,973 killed and 1,388 wounded.
They won 342 British gallantry awards.
