Winston Churchill, speaking about the Battle of Britain in 1940, said: "Never was so much owed by so many to so few." This is the story of some of the few who are rarely remembered by our allies today. Some 17,000 men and women passed through the ranks of the Polish Air Force while it was stationed on British soil in World War II. They not only played a crucial role in the Battle of Britain in 1940, they also contributed significantly to the Allied war effort in the air. This is the story of who they were, where they came from, and what they did, and their fate after the war's end.
