Polish Eaglets Over Pakistan

(Polskie orlęta na pakistańskim niebie)

In 1947, when Pakistan was created as an independent country, a new government asked the British Air Force command for pointing out the most experienced and trusted pilots who would be able to create air force in Pakistan.
The British professionals suggested… Polish officers, pilots that after the World War II when they gained the fame as brilliant pilots, still remained in the British army.
A small group of 17 Polish pilots led by Wladyslaw Turowicz arrived to Pakistan in 1947 and so the National Pakistani Air Force was born.
