Title: The Polish Air Force
Post by: toddbobe on June 07, 2013, 10:04:29 PM

The Germans feared the Polish the most (no joke).... can we have some planes with Polish markings?

Go through the Spitfire skins. I thought there were one or two there. Fearsome and fearless.

There is a Mosquito VI with Polish markings as well.  Maybe a Hurricane or two also.


Keep in mind that none of these are "Polish Airforce".  They are all RAF, but with the red and white "checkerboard" indicating use by a Polish squadron within the RAF.

There are Spitfires, Mosquito FB Mk IV's, and IL-2's with Polish markings.  I highly suggest you check them out, the skinning team has done some awesome work.  Come to think of it, there is a P51 with Polish marking in the works.  :aok

They are out there.   :)

By all accounts... WWII started Sept '39... <I would say earlier but> ... with the invasion of Poland..the very reason Brittan and France went to war... yes? The Early War? Where are the planes?  :headscratch:
We have an early war arena, and early war events but not really The Early war.

In '39 at the same time  Germany and the Soviets are dividing up Poland, the USA declares that it is a neutral party..  :huh  


I was watching this series the other day.
Its not real tough ..for some of you that missed History class :aok "Polish Air Force in WWII"
Here, starting with 1939 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=412rSuQv2dc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=412rSuQv2dc) very good through '45

 :cheers:


New Plane I-16 1934?,

For the Polish setting I'd think we'd want the PZL P.11c, PZL.37, Bf109D or Bf109E-1 and Do17Z.
