#BoBPoles80: The Polish Pilots Who Fought for Britain

In the summer of 1940 Britain fought a battle for survival against the might of Hitler’s Luftwaffe. This Battle of Britain would see German air attacks on British airfields, cities, factories and docks. Brave RAF pilots intercepted these raids, but Britain was not alone. Among the RAF and Allied fighter pilots who flew that summer were 145 Poles, veteran pilots who were forced to escape their country as it was attacked by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union in September 1939. Produced by History Hit to mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain and featuring British historian and TV presenter Dan Snow, this documentary explores the vital Polish contribution during the Battle of Britain.
