This book records the flights
undertaken by 31 & 34 Squadrons of the SAAF, in supplying relief in
the form of food, medicines and supplies to the Polish citizens/resistance
movement in the beleaguered city of Warsaw. The Poles were encircled by
the German Nazis on the one side and Stalin’s Russian Army on the other.
The crews in their Liberators flew a 2000 km return flight from Italy
without fighter escort for most of the mission.
