303 Squadron: The Legendary Battle of Britain Fighter Squadron, by Arkady Fiedler (331 pages, November 2010), is the first translation of Dywizjon 303 since 1942 when it was originally published in Polish and English in London. Fiedler (1894–1985), a well-known Polish author and journalist, wrote the book to give credit to the Polish airmen of the Royal Air Force squadron that destroyed more German aircraft during the Battle of Britain in 1940 than any other Allied unit. This edition, produced at the request of Fiedler’s son, is enhanced by footnotes, maps, abundant historical photographs, and nine appendices, as well as the inclusion of the airmen’s real names, which were given pseudonyms in Fiedler’s original book. The narrative vividly captures the drama, the danger, and the spirit of the times. $21.95. Aquila Polonica. 978-1-60772-005-8.
