Dzubeks Deblinskis by Ronald Wong On January 14th, former personnel of the Polish Air Force's C.W.L.
Deblin training centre were formed into number 315 Deblinski (City of
Deblin) Fighter Squadron at Acklington, England. This was the sixth
Polish squadron formed in the RAF from expatriate airmen to continue the
fight against Nazi Germany. In July 1944, the squadron flying the
Mustang MkIII (P51C), became part of the Air Defence of Great Britain (ADGB)
where it's primary role became "Diver Patrols" against V1
flying bombs from the Continent, although it continued to fly armed
reconnaissance, escort and other mission over Occupied Europe. At this
time the unit was led by the legendary Squadron Leader Eugeniusz
Horbaczewski (nicknamed "Dzubek") who was to achieve 16½
victories in the air (5½ in the Mustang) plus 4 V1's downed. The
stories of his courage were many, the most notable being the occasion
when he landed his Mustang on an uncompleted Normandy landing strip and
flew one of his downed pilots home on his lap. The outstanding air
battle for 315 squadron occurred on August 18, 1944 when it engaged over
60 Luftwaffe fighters near Beauvais and destroyed 16 ME 109's and FW
190's for the loss of one of their own, which sadly was that of Dzubek
himself.
