It was not just the highest scoring of the Hurricane squadrons during the Battle of Britain, but it had the highest ratio of enemy aircraft destroyed to their own lost. The squadron was named after the Polish and United States hero General Tadeusz Kościuszko, and the eponymous Polish 7th Air Escadrille founded by Merian C. Cooper, that served Poland in the 1919–1921 Polish-Soviet War. No. 303 was formed in July 1940 in Blackpool, England before deployment to RAF Northolt on 2 August as part of an agreement between the Polish Government in Exile and the United Kingdom. It had a distinguished combat record and was disbanded in December 1946. This volume is quite rare item, a complete chronicle of the squadron, day by day, lots of photos, lists and curiosities about this wonderful unit. This is an original 1968 edition. /#/ THE ITEM DETAILS: AUTHOR: Kazimierz Węgrzecki BOOK TITLE: Kosynierzy Warszawscy Historia 303 Dywizjonu BINDING: Hardback PUBLICATION YEAR: 1968 PAGES: 508 LANGUAGE: Polish SIZE: 8.50 x 12.00 in.
