Rijkelijk geïllustreerd overzicht van het 'Poolse' RAF squadron 303. Dit deel beschrijft de periode november 1943 tot heden.
Van de achterflap: Volume 3 covers 303s final departure from Northolt in November 1943 which marked another turning point in its history. By the time of the Normandy landings in June 1944, it was the last squadron in the Polish Air Force to be still flying the obsolete Spitfire V. Re-equipped with the Spitfire IX in mid-1944, 303 was then employed against V2 supersonic rocket missiles. Just like in 1940, the 303 Squadron pilots protected Britain against German attack, but this time they logged no engagements with Luftwaffe aircraft and their anti-V2 campaign was virtually unnoticed. Converting to Mustangs in April 1945, 303 Squadron ended its last operational tour a month later, when the war in Europe ended. For the Polish servicemen it was a bitter end. 303 Squadron was disbanded in December 1946. This third volume describes the last three years of 303 Squadrons history, including D-Day operations over Normandy and final strikes at the heart of the Third Reich. It concludes with the rebirth of the "Kosciuszko Squadron" traditions in free Poland.
