Squadron 303

Based on Arkady Fiedler's bestseller, Squadron 303 relates the true story of the Polish pilots who were heroes in the Battle of Britain. Jan Zumbach is recovering from a plane crash in a sanatorium when WWII breaks out and the Nazi offensive forces him to escape from occupied Poland. A similar fate awaits the heroic flight instructor, Witold Urbanowicz, as they try to make their way to Great Britain and carry on the fight against the Nazi Luftwaffe. Quickly, their heroism and skill catch the attention of commanders, and an elite, Polish fighter squadron is created: Squadron 303. At first they are underestimated and scorned, but thanks to the outstanding patriotism and bravery of its members, the squadron quickly wins respect. The 303 Squadron shot three times more Luftwaffe planes than any other allied units, during one of the most seminal battles of the war and helped pave the road to victory
