Hurricane: Squadron 303

A story about the legendary No. 303 “Kosciuszko” Polish Fighter Squadron. It’s 1940. Luftwaffe attacks RAF starting the Battle of Britain. British citizens and authorities observe German invasion of Europe with increasing fear. That’s when the excellent Polish pilots and veterans, ready to fight even outside of Poland, come to the rescue – Jan Zumbach, Witold Urbanowicz, Mirosław Ferić and Witold Łokuciewski, a.k.a. Tolo, among them. Initial mistrust of the Englishmen soon turns into awe. Hurricane is a blockbuster portrait of the incredible No. 303 Fighter Squadron – the most suc- cessful air force unit in the Battle of Britain thought to have shot down over 120 German aeroplanes, more than any other aircraft.
