The Polish squadron was the legendary 303 Squadron, operating from RAF Northolt where there is now a very impressive landmark, the Polish War Memorial.

As a further twist, 303's highest-scoring pilot in the Battle, Sergeant Josef Frantisek with 17 confirmed victories was - a Czech.

There is a very interesting chapter about 303 in Anthony Robinson's book 'RAF Fighter Squadrons In The Battle Of Britain' ( 1987, reprinted 1999 ) which is fairly easily obtainable.
