Pilots like Zdzisław Henneberg and Mirosław Ferić fought with everything they had for a free Poland and a free Europe, yet they never got to experience the peace they paid for with their lives.

Zdzisław Henneberg—Did not survive.
Henneberg took over command of 303 Squadron in early 1941. On April 12, 1941, during an attack on targets in occupied France, his Spitfire was damaged by anti-aircraft fire. He was forced to ditch his plane in the English Channel. Though a fellow pilot saw him swimming and reported his position, a rescue search could not locate him. He drowned at sea at the age of 29.

Mirosław Ferić — Did not survive
Ferić was a top ace who kept a meticulous personal diary that eventually became the official historical record of 303 Squadron. Tragically, on February 14, 1942, he was killed during a training flight at RAF Northolt when his Spitfire broke apart in mid-air. The intense G-forces prevented him from bailing out. He was 26 years old.

🇵🇱✈️ A historic day for the Polish Air Force!
A brand new era of sky defense has officially touched down in Poland.
✈️ The cutting-edge Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II has arrived, marking a massive leap forward for our nation's security and airspace sovereignty.
As these state-of-the-art fighter jets join the Polish fleet, US Ambassador to Poland, Tom Rose, shared a powerful reminder of the deep roots and unbreakable spirit behind this milestone:

"Poland's legendary 303 Squadron wrote one of the greatest chapters in aviation history. Today, a new generation starts its own tradition in Lockheed Martin F-35's. Different aircraft. Different century. The same commitment & same strength & same pride -- which is why POTUS loves Poland." 🤝🇺🇸

From the brave pilots of the 303 Squadron who defended freedom decades ago to the modern pilots stepping into the cockpits of the world's most advanced stealth fighters today—the legacy of Polish excellence continues.
Welcome home, Husarz! 🦅✨

What an absolutely unforgettable weekend at the Royal Air Force Cosford Air Show 2026!
Huge thanks to the wonderful crew from the Historia - Polscy Spadochroniarze w UK Grzegorz and Jacek
and our great friend Clive Williams
for making this experience so special.

The skies were incredible, but the company was even better! 🙌✨
We were thrilled to welcome so many fantastic visitors to our stand.

🖤 A Moment of Remembrance
Many of us there remembered last year's incredible performance of Polish pilot Slab from F-16 Tiger Demo Team Poland
— who gave us such a breathtaking display in the air with his F-16 last year, but tragically crashed just two months later. Today, during the RAF Cosford Air Show (Official) he was commemorated in exactly the right way. It was a beautiful, fitting tribute to a true hero of the skies. Blue skies, Slab. 🕊️🇵🇱
We had a truly fantastic time filled with great laughs, amazing planes, and brilliant memories. Hope to see you all again next year! 🛫🌤️

Polish🇵🇱 pilots in 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 🇬🇧:

The story of the Polish pilots who flew with the Royal Air Force (RAF) is one of the most remarkable and turning-point chapters of World War II.
When Poland fell in 1939, and France followed in 1940, thousands of experienced Polish airmen refused to surrender.
They made perilous journeys across Europe to reaching Britain, determined to keep fighting.

The pilots were the ones who faced the enemy directly, but it was the aviation mechanics, sheet metal workers, armorers, and engineers who made those missions possible.
Mechanics, engineers, and other crew members were very important, they contributed significantly towards achieving freedom.

PLUMETOT — a small town in France 🇫🇷where Polish men flew alongside during the Battle of Normandy.

B-10 was an advanced landing ground in Plumetot (7 miles of Sword Beach), the 🇬🇧Royal Air Force and 🇵🇱Polish Air Force used it for taking off during the Battle of Normandy in 1944.

The allied aerodromes were built on the opponent’s land and were divided into several categories:
Emergency Landing Strips (ELS),
Supply & Evacuation (S&E),
Refueling & Rearming (R&R), and
Advanced Landing Grouds (ALG).

, Code: B-10 was ALG B-10 operated from June 10, 1944 served as a base for the Royal Air Force’s 123 Wing from 1 to 19 July 1944 and three 🇵🇱Polish squadrons on the 131 Wing from August to September 1944.

– 35 Recce Wing (2 squadron using Mustang II aircraft, 4 squadron using Spitfire XI, 268 Bomb. squadron using Typhoon FR 1 aircraft)

– 123 Wing (198 squadron, 609 squadron)

– 131 Wing (302 squadron, 308 squadron, 317 squadron – 🇵🇱Polish)

– 135 Wing (33 squadron)

– Spotting Wing (652 squadron)

Because of the particular lining of the main runway and from its location north of Caen, several Allied bombers in difficulty land. This aerodrome was used as an ammunition depot until the end of the war.

There is a memorial monument and its’s been unveiled in Plumetot, France 🇫🇷 to commemorate and to honour pilots of the Royal Air Force and Polish Air Force — all brave men who flew alongside.
