NO. 303 POLISH FIGHTER SQUADRON
                    "KOŚCIUSZKO"     





It was the one of sixteen polish squadrons of the Polish Air Force in Great Britain during
 the World War II and it was the highest scoring RAF squadron there.

The first victory of squadron had place at the 30th of August 1940, since an official obtainment
 of combat readiness. During the training flight, Ludwik Paszkiewicz seceded and shot down
 the hunter Messerschmitt Bf 110. After that battle, next day the squadron was referred to front.

The 303 squadron is classed to the best hunter units of the World War II. During the battle
 of Britain in 1940 it scored 126 official classed shots down what places this in the first place
 amid all hunter squadrons which were taking a part in the battle.

Byt after the war it turned out that the sume of classed triumphs of Allied is nearly twice bigger
 than actual German losses. It was inflated, but the squadron was admittedly the one of the best
 allied squadrons.
