From the BoB thread (it is still BoB Day BTW!):-

Wokkafans:-
The BBC are running an article, with a European side-story. It is rather tucked away though.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/stories-45516556
An interesting 303 Squadron story about Josef Frantisek, a Czech ace on a Polish Squadron! An outsider by nature, the posting might well have suited him better than being posted to one of the Czechoslovak squadrons. Typical BBC, the closest you now get from them in celebrating the RAF's special day, it is really a plug for the new film 'Hurricane'. Nonetheless, a worthy tribute to a brave man credited with 17 confirmed and one probable, the highest score in the Battle. That greatly added to the other 303 Sqn Polish victories, making it the highest scoring Hurricane squadron in the Battle of Britain. As Dowding said (well almost), we couldn't have done it without them.
