I'll thank you, too poor to send money.  

Looks like a great flick.  I think it's Czech not Polish.  But Spitfires and boobies, ya can't go wrong!

Way too cool!!

What is the name (in english)

Great footage!!

A remake of the movie the "Battle of Britain" needs to be done.  With today's technology it would be an incredible experience.

the action is about czech pilots, and starts in czech before the war, then move to england. I still don`t understend 1 thing   why they say in that movie that czech fighter sqadron was the best in BoB ?

there are some polish people in that movie, im trying to get that, but its still in the cinemas  .

Whoops! My bad, It's Czeck, not Polish, as you've seen.

Asmo, there were a couple of Czeck's so fanaticaly anti-German we couldn't do any thing with 'em, and in effect they were given free rein to go off hunting on their own. The Czeck reputation stems mainly from this, I'd imagine.

Do a web search for Josef Frantisek, one of their best.

the Poles were the same ; i read a story of a flight of Polish volunteers on a training flight in Hurris with their British instructor, when they spotted German bombers ... the instructor ordered them not to engage and they all reported radio and/or language problems and attacked ! ;-)

Seeker, 1st Czech sqadron was formed almoust at the end o Battle of Britan, The one and the best Ace in BoB was Czech Josef Frantisek
that ware flying with Polish 303 sqadron.
(i know the 303 history almoust perfect; they are my heros   )
  The sad thing was that how did Frantiszek died   in a plane crash doing a victory loop over the fieald  


Im not talking about that Czech`s where
bad ! they where great!!

As far as i remember 3 czechs fighter pilots ware top scoring pilots on actions over germany.

BTW: Frantiszek had a proposicion of taking command on Czech Raf Sqadron. but he refuze the promocion and didn`t take the job.


....Asmo out <S> to all pilots that where flying in that havy war times.
