I am clueless about all this but I love reading your more personal looks at these guys. They were amazing. Loved flying, didn't they? What strikes me is their incredible creativity and flying by the seat of their pants ( was astounded at the rescue and flight to safety sitting on the lap!!) How incredible their lives were as they navigated the politics and

changes all while fighting a war!! They suffered and scrambled and some of them survived. Had no idea about the role of these Polish pilots in the RAF or their role in retrieving Monte Cassino-- of special interest to me since it is an iconic place for Benedictines and I spent 7 years as a Benedictine nun in an earlier life and remain a Benedictine Oblate. IMMENSELY enjoyed learning about these men and their amazing contributions. Thank you, TC!
