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.


There were certainly Poles in the Royal Air Force, including during
the Battle of Britain- see
