Karol Pniak with Battenberg Image on his Aircraft

I agree with Realpolitik.

It should also be remembered that many Poles and Czechs and Yugoslavs served with distinction in the the RAF well into the ’60’s. Out of 10 pilots on my first squadron, 2 were Polish, and from 20 in my second 3 were Poles. They made a very significant contribution, one I particularly remember served time in first a Russian and later a German PoW camp, but he was still a first class pilot always contesting top place in the air firing score sheet.
