Description

The 80th anniversary of the Allied landing at Dieppe, France, marks a significant moment in history. This year, a tribute is paid to the 1st Polish Wing, a key component of the operation. The wing played a crucial role in the battle, providing 10% of the Spitfire squadrons engaged and suffering 3.5% losses. Notably, their Spitfire V variants achieved impressive results, with Nos. 303 and 317 Squadrons among the top-scoring units. The book features over 500 images of Spitfires from the five Polish squadrons, as well as the men who flew and maintained them. These images provide a unique insight into the aircraft and the individuals who operated them. The Spitfire V, in particular, is highlighted as the variant used by the top-scoring units. This book offers a detailed look at the Polish squadrons' involvement in the Dieppe landings, with a focus on the Spitfire V. It is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of the Second World War and the aviation aspects of the conflict.
