At the end of the clip, ask your self, what has really changed since then?

That is excellent.

For anyone who knows anything about the Battle of Britain this is NOT an untold story. In fact as I recollect the squadron was mentioned in the movie about Douglas Bader, "Reach for the Sky" (made in 1956). All the books that I have read talk about the contributions made by non English pilots.
There were a significant number of Polish refugees in England during the war. The cemeteries in London contain many Polish dead, easily recognizable by the large black marble slabs that cover the burial sites. On All Souls Day, the Poles light candles and place them on the marble slabs. Beautiful sight.
Canadians, Americans, Australians, Rhodesians and South Africans also fought with distinction in the Battle of Britain. If one bothers to watch the Remembrance Day services in London, their contributions are remembered EVERY year. As well as on Battle of Britain Day

I read about the Polish pilots some time back, whilst on a Polish heroes kick. It all started with reading a biography of this great American hero:

Andrzej Tadeusz Bonawentura Kościuszko

Back in 2000 I was flying to London on a regular basis. At the local pub where our crews would hang out the Polish Flight Officers Association would meet on every Wednesday night. We as flight crew were all invited to join in and enjoyed their company and regaled in their stories from the battle of Britain and countless other tales from WW II and the old country.

Unfortunately within the year the association ceased pub night as many of the members had become infirm. I consider myself honored to have been in association, even if it was just for a brief time with these brave warriors.

One of the guys had a Mosquito flight manual that he brought one night and I got to look through it as the beer was served and tales were told. A very neat experience to say the least.

One of the funniest scenes in the entire movie!
