Recently met someone whose father was in the 29th Squadron during this time. If not for the bravery of those men, and the fact that the Spitfires were a little better than the German planes, England could have been lost. It could have altered the face of the globe for the entire 20th century and beyond.

I hope they remember the Kosciusko squadron of Poles who had the most number of hits during the battle.

Ceremonies to specifically honour the Poles who fought in the Battle of Britain were held last week. Only one of the Polish Few is still alive - Wing Commander Tadeusz Sawicz.
