By the beginning of 1941 there was a fully fledged Polish Air
Force operating alongside the RAF. With 14 Squadrons it was larger
than any other of the Air Force from Nazi-occupied Europe that had
joined the Allies. Over 17,000 men and women passed through the
ranks of the Polish Air Force while it was stationed in the UK.
They shot down 745 enemy aircraft, with a further 175 unconfirmed.
They dropped thousands of bombs and laid hundreds of mines, flying
102,486 sorties notching up a total of 290,895 operation flying
hours. They achieved this at a cost of 1,973 killed and 1,388
wounded. They won 342 British gallantry awards.
