Polish Airmen
S1R.-May 1 appeal through your 'paper for help for the Polish Air Force Association Benevolent Fund which exists for the same purpose as the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund. This year is the twenty- fifth anniversary of the Battle of Britain, during which and throughout the war the Polish Air Force fought side by side with us and gained great fame and our admiration. They also fought in every com- mand in the Royal Air Force. When victory came over 2,000 Polish airmen had lost their lives and those who survived stayed here, for there was no place for them in Poland.
This Polish Air Force Association Benevolent Fund is a charity which deserves help and 1 am sure your readers' opinion of the Poles is like mine, when we were up against it and when every eighth pilot who fought in the Battle of Britain was a Pole. Although the Poles finished the war with us they were fighting long before we started.
Any donation will be most gratefully received and acknowledged by me at 14 Collingham Gardens, London, SW5.
