This is the detailed story of one of the best Polish squadrons fighting in the September 1939 campaign. Equipped with PZL.23 Karaś, the basic reconnaissance and bombing aircraft of the Polish Air Force in the 1939 war, the unit fought on the southern section of the Polish-German front also performing combat flights over enemy territory. And although units equipped with Karaś-type aircraft suffered very heavy losses in 1939, the 24th Squadron, thanks to skillful tactics and efforts to replenish equipment, ended the war and evacuated to Romania the same number of machines it set out for war. This squadron, as one of the few, also operationally used Polish Aviation's latest reconnaissance aircraft, the LWS-3 Seagull. The book features colourful boards with 24 Squadron planes, including the first shown Karasa armed with Puppy machine guns, as well as the Seagull, whose war painting was first reconstructed from photographs from September 1939. Its strengths are also an exceptionally interesting set of archival photographs, most of which have not yet been published.
Some photos were taken during the war by Polish airmen (exceptional rarity!) which in itself says about the value of this workout.
