A flying tribute
to Polish airmen

The Polish Air Force Flying Museum Foundation collects and maintains airworthy aircraft flown by Polish airmen during the Second World War.

These are not replicas — they are original machines that witnessed those times. Each has its own history, its own service record, its own pilots. Flying them today is an act of remembrance for the generation that fought for freedom in foreign skies.

The collection spans four types: Tiger Moth T-7230 — the RAF's primary trainer, Auster MT255 — an observation aircraft from the Western Front, DHC-1 Chipmunk — the Tiger Moth's successor, designed by a Pole, and T-6 Harvard G-RAIX — the advanced trainer, the final step before combat.

To meet these people, to fly with them — it was worth every effort, every cost and every responsibility that comes with owning a warbird.
