...........bloody obvious. (??????)
sombody has to be Polish to publish a picture of Polish Spitfire?????
Hey buddy!..... these boys fought for your country sometimes paying the biggest price (life) and you're supposed to be the person who publishes those pictures and writes about them so they are not forgotten.
I was just checking the pages of this website and I couldn't find anything
about Poles, fighting in Britain. Seeing that, it is hard to believe that Polish pilots (30,000) were the second nation part of RAF during the WWII.
| Looks like you were having a go there.
It's quite obvious you don't understand British-English (No offence intended). Saying 'bloody obvious' is not aggression.

Perhaps both of you should cut it out, youre just winding each other up over nothing

Country:  | Greetings from Poland everyone!
Tino, great pics.
I just love the first one, the RFD of Jan Zumbach.
Have you read "Question of honor"? nicely written book about the 303rd (Polish) Fighter Squadron. Do I have to mention that it was the highest scoring sqn in the BoB? | |
