Could someone explain to me Poles and Zeros. What does a Pole do and
what does a zero do and how they interact together.
** I have spent countless hours reading about & watching films and
documentary stories about of the air war that dominated WW2. However,
I have never heard of any confrontation occurring between the Polish air
force ( or indeed any Polish WW2 flyer) and a Japanese Zero.
Probably, had a "one on one" showdown occurred somewhere over South
East Asia, the Zero would have defeated the Pole.
The Pole would then become attenuated at a huge number of dB per
thousand feet - until the poor fellow reached the stop band.
Forever.
Actually, it may have happened. When Poland fell many poles emigrated to
free countries to fight for the Allies. I imagine that most of them
stayed close to the continent, but there may have been some polish
nationals in the American, British, or Australian airplanes over the
Pacific.
But a polish pilot in a PLZ "fighter", going against a zero, would have
looked an awful lot like a small bird going against a falcon -- it would
be a short exchange.
