Reviews
a very thorough photographic essay, and it is a valuable resource for modelers interested in the various aircraft flown by the 305 squadron. Additionally, this book is a must have for those interested in the Polish Air Force serving with the RAF during World War II., ...superb study ...lavishly illustrated ...overage sports dozens of hitherto unpublished 305 Squadron aircraft photos with extended captions. Marek Radomski's color profiles are simply superb. And extended, detailed comments and reference shots accompany all artwork.... And MMP's terrific tome pays apt homage to the Poles who never bore Hitler's yoke.
