This new book chronicalizes the exploits of Polish pilots, in exile, who fought in Free French aircraft in Group de Chase 1/145.

Various combat biographies of these Polish pilots are given, along with 45 black and white portrait photos of them. Forty more pictures show the aircraft flown by them. There are maps, charts, and data tables galore.

Fifteen color profile paintings show the Morane Saulnier MS406s and Caudron C-714 "CYCLONES" flown by this group. There is a 1/72nd scale 4-view line drawing of the C-714 and a 3-view line drawing of its 12R engine.

Finally, there are 73 walk-around type color photos of 714s being restored in museums.

If you are interested in the exploits of Polish pilots, in exile during WWII, this book is for you.

Highly recommended.
