	Polish Facts and Figures in World War II.
		In December 1939, the Polish National Council, an advisory body acting in the absence of an electoral parliament, was appointed and Ignacy Paderewski elected as its chairman.
		Finally the Polish death-rate was steadily decreasing, from 16.7 per 1,000 inhabitants in 1925, it fell to 15.5 in 1930, and to 14.0 in 1937.
		The value of Polish imports by sea increased from 27.4% in 1928 to 65.5% in 1937; similarly the value of Polish exports by sea rose from 25.2% in 1928 to 66.2% in 1937.

	Sqn Histories 300-318_P
		Squadron numbers in the 300 series were allocated to units manned by personnel who had escaped from occupied Europe.
		The squadron continued to operate as part of Bomber Command's Main Force moving to Hemswell in 1941, Ingham in 1942, back to Hemswell in January 1943, Ingham again in June 1943 and finally Faldingworth in March 1944, where the squadron disbanded on 11 October 1946.
		However, the squadron was destined for operations with the Polish Army, which was then training for operations in Italy and in August the squadron moved to the Middle East, but it was April 1944 before the squadron arrived in Italy.

	RAF History - Bomber Command 60th Anniversary
		It was the first Polish-manned bomber squadron to form in the RAF and, oddly enough, most of its original crews had previously served in Polish fighter units.
		British advisers were attached to the squadron and it also had a British adjutant co-operating with his Polish opposite number; a few British technical specialists and a clerical staff for English correspondence were also attached.
		The squadron was originally in No.6 (Training) Group, but in August 1941, transferred to No.1 (Bomber) Group and simultaneously made the first of what proved to be several moves during its career to RAF Swinderby, Lincolnshire.

		In April, the 53rd and 57th Squadron from the 7th Fighter Group were sent on the front in Moldova and the 2nd Fighter Group was brought in to protect the capital.

	Polish Fighter Pilots of World War II
		Polish Fighter Pilots of World War II This text about Polish fighter pilots in WWII is converted for the Web from "A Question of Honor: The Kosciuszko Squadron, Forgotten Heroes of World War II" by Lynne Olson and Stanley Cloud, Alfred A. Knopf, September 2003.
		Cloud and Olson's book is the engaging true story of the Polish fighter pilots who helped save England during the Battle of Britain and of their stunning betrayal by the U.S. and England after the war, when their country was abandoned and handed over to the USSR.
		Polish fliers assigned to the front-line base of Luxeuil, near the German border, argued for bombing raids across the frontier.

	71 Squadron
		The RAF picked an Englishman, W. Churchill, to be Squadron Leader and the squadron was declared operational on 8 October 1940 and assigned the squadron code XR.
		The 3 squadrons based at North Weald flew as a Wing and by this time the fight was shifting from purely defensive to taking the fight to the Germans in Northern France.
		Their attacks continued during the bombers' run to the target and for about thirty minutes after, until the French coast was crossed near Gravelines.

	RAF Bomber Command 1939-1945 : Rob Davis
		A typical Bomber aerodrome was 750 or 1,000 acres of former Lincolnshire, Yorkshire or Cambridgeshire farmland, with a "population" of 1,000 or 1,200 people.
		Squadron Commanders were not required to operate on every raid, but one measure of their leadership skills was how often they and their crew actually did fly with the rest of the squadron.
		In many squadrons the rule was "no leave until 5 operations are complete" but normally, aircrew received one week's leave every six weeks, and would be issued with a return rail pass to a destination of his choice, and temporary ration cards.
