"Semper fidelis"

     "In the desperate days of 1940 we fighter pilots were proud to include in our number Polish airmen who in their own squadrons, and as individuals in British squadrons, did so much to strengthen and stiffen the depleted ranks of Fighter Command - as fighter pilots they were second to none. Great aviators; great comrades; truly of 'The Few'"
Air Commodore A.C. Deere. DSO, OBE, DFC.
