RAF021 “Sergeant Pilot Antoni Glowacki”

Toni Glowacki was a Free Polish Air Force pilot who shot down 5 German aircraft on one day (24 August 1940) during the Battle of Britain. After the fall of Poland he eventually reached Britain and, after flight training, joined the RAF’s 501 “County of Gloucester” Squadron flying Hurricanes. Only one other RAF pilot, New Zealander Brian Carbury gained this “Ace-in-a-day” status during the Battle.
