Polish Escort.
The event starts at 21.00 CET, 3 PM EST in the Special Events Arena (SEA).
This is a good opportunity to train for the upcoming Der Grosse Schlag -scenario. The bombers will have airstarts so it won't take time to climb into combat altitude. All are welcome to join and bring your friends too!
Mk III Mustangs of No. 315 (Polish) City of Deblin Squadron, escort Lancaster Bombers over the Dutch Coast during the summer of 1944, as they are led by Capt. Eugeniez Horbyzewski (nicknamed "Dzubek"), Poland's 3rd highest scoring ace in W W II (16 1/2 victories). This print is a tribute to the Polish Airman who fought the Nazis longer than any other Allied Air Force. It is not widely known that the Polish Air Force was the third largest air force of the western allies, and that one Polish Squadron (No. 303) was the highest scoring Allied squadron during the Battle of Britain.
