Large collection of RAF Polish Squadron photos
« on: November 01, 2014, 08:45:09 PM »
Seen on another board:

http://www.muzeumlotnictwa.pl/index....a/katalog/1772 and http://www.muzeumlotnictwa.pl/index....a/katalog/1771 and http://www.muzeumlotnictwa.pl/index....a/katalog/1766

Extensive collection of photographs, many with noseart and other heraldry.

Warning - contains Mosquitos. Moistness may result.
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

No worries, there's actually more images on other pages - if you change the "1766" etc in the address bar, another page comes up, with more photos. Hit-and-miss but I've seen more Spits, Wellingtons, C-47s, Lysanders, Ansons and Mosquito DZ424, as modelled by our own Greebo.
