Porucznik Stanislaw Skalski of 142nd Eskrada, flying a Polish airforce PZL P-11c, downs a Messerschmitt 110 during the first days of WWII. Although officially credited as a Dornier bomber, it is now believed that the aircraft was an Me110 from 1/ZG1. The discrepancy is attributed to the fact that the reported aircraft used nose mounted cannons unlike the Dornier, and up until then the 110 was a well kept secret.

No.303 Squadron took off from Northolt at 1937 hrs to take part in Circus No. 20 by escorting six Blenheim bombers in an attack on Mardyke aerodrome The Spitfires were intercepted by the Luftwaffe, and in the course of the dogfight P/O Gladych shot down a Bf109 and then while doing a steep turn to avoid an attacker he collided with the tail section of another Bf109. He suffered a serious injury to his head when struck by a fragment of the German plane and was only semi-conscious when he attempted to make an emergency landing at RAF Manston. He was unable to make it to the airfield and crash-landed near Ramsgate, hitting a telephone pole in the process.

Spitfire Mk IIa P7350 is an aircraft with an astonishing history. Scrambled on 25th October 1940 from Hornchurch, Pilot Officer Ludwik Martel climbed his aircraft through thick cloud and was immediately attacked by a number of Messerschmitt Bf.109s. Two other Spitfires were shot down and Martel's aircraft was raked with machine gun and cannon fire, the latter punching a large hole in the port wing Severely injured, but still in control, Martel descended through 16,000ft to make a wheels-up landing in a field near Hastings. The aircraft was recovered and repaired and left 603 Sqn for duties elsewhere, but P7350 was damaged in at least a further three incidents before being finally made surplus in 1947. Sold for scrap for just £25, The aircraft again survived and was brought back to flying condition for the film The Battle of Britain. And she is still flying today, eighty years on, with the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.

A Fairey Albacore of 826 Naval Air Squadron releases its torpedo at the Battle of Cape Matapan, 28th March 1941. With intelligence from deciphered Italian communications aiding them, the British fleet had a distinct advantage from the outset of this battle. However, gaining a torpedo hit on the well protected battleship Vittorio Veneto came at a price - Lt Com Dalyell-Stead and the crew of his Fairey Albacore got close enough to launch their torpedo and damage the battleship, but were killed when their aircraft was brought down by the hail of anti-aircraft fire returned. Ultimately, the battle was a massive British victory with several Italian capital ships sunk, but it was a notable victory for innovation and intelligence, with British ship-borne radar decisive in a night action, and code-breaking by Bletchley Park aiding the British fleet.

A prominent aviator in the Battle of the Atlantic, Terry Bulloch flew B-24 Liberators with No.120 Sqn in an anti-submarine role. Already awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for shooting down two German aircraft in a No.206 Sqn Lockheed Hudson over Dunkirk, he was awarded a Bar to this when he sunk U-boat U-597 in October 1942. After another attack, this time sinking U-132 and damaging U-89, he was awarded the Distinguished Service Order, and gained a Bar to this on leaving No.120 Sqn at the end of 1942. Bulloch is seen here on 8th July 1943 in Liberator GR Mk.V BZ721 of No.224 Sqn having completed his hat-trick of U-boat kills, this time sinking U-514 in the Bay of Biscay. This type had been modified by RAF Coastal Command to carry rockets, which Bulloch had used to attack the submarine, finishing it off with depth charges. After the war, Bulloch became an airline pilot, crossing the Atlantic on more than 1,000 occasions. He died in 2014.

In early May 1941, in conditions of strict secrecy because the United States was not yet at war, seventeen pilots of the US Navy had arrived in Britain and been attached to Catalina squadrons of Coastal Command. These experienced PBY pilots were there to assist the Royal Air Force to become familiar with the Catalina, and also to gain operational experience for the US Navy. On 26th May 1941 Catalina Z of No.209 Sqn, commanded by Flying Officer Dennis Briggs RAF, with Ensign Leonard B Smith USN as co-pilot, joined the search for the Bismarck. At 1015 the aircraft was being flown in poor visibility at an altitude of 500ft when Ensign Smith sighted the Bismarck at a range of eight miles. The Catalina was flown towards the contact so that a positive identification could be made and emerged from the cloud only 500 yards from the German ship. The aircraft met a hail of anti-aircraft fire but was able to make its escape. As a result of the sighting report from Catalina Z the Bismarck was again engaged by ships and aircraft of the Royal Navy and was sunk at 1040 on 27th May 1941. Leonard Smith can be considered therefore, the first American to be directly involved in action in World War Two. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross (American) for his actions.
