SQUADRON 303
The Polish Fighter Squadron with the RAF
Published by Peter Davis, First Edition, second print 1942. 116 pages and well illustrated with photographs.
Near Fine condition hardback book in bright blue boards with clean white titles. The dustjacket is also in Near Fine condition, clipped and smart in a protective cover. A super copy of the first edition of this book. There is a discreet red stamp at the top of the title page which indicates that this copy belonged to the Polish Ministry of Information.
This is the tale of Polish defiance, of the dashing fury with which a few gallant exiled airmen charged into the midst of the enemy and turned 303 Squadron into the top scoring RAF unit of the Battle of Britain and created a legend. Chapter 15 tells the story of ‘Witur’ aka Witold Urbanowicz.
A scarce Battle of Britain book in this condition and a great addition to any aviation library.
