In 1993, an imposing monument was unveiled by Britain’s Queen Mother on the cliffs of Dover in honor of the RAF fighter squadrons that took part in the Battle of Britain. The memorial was adorned with the insignia of sixty-six squadrons—but those of the PoznanÍ and Kościuszko squadrons, the only all-Polish units at the time, were missing, even though the latter was responsible for more German kills than any other squadron in the RAF.
