In memory of ALL who faced up to Evil and especially those Aircrew Of the Polish Air Force, the Royal Air Force, Royal Australian Air Force and South African Air Force who supported the Uprising by flying supplies from Italy to Poland during the period August to October 1944

Another 31/34 SAAF video Oct '44 Alpine Disaster
Just received link from Anne Storm for this YouTube video related to the Oct '44 Alpine Disaster when 6 of 20 Liberators of 31/34 SAAF were lost on a Supply Drop to Northern Italy
Anne's RAAF father was the Observer on KH158 which sadly has not been found to this day (coincidentally he had completed 2 of the Warsaw Drops referred to in my post above)

The part that the Poles played in WW2 deserves wider recognition. Fearless, dedicated and skilled flyers. Fine people who have suffered enormously throughout history.
