Miroslaw Feric Background (with thanks to Wikipedia and Caracal Models):

During the Invasion of Poland in 1939, Miroslaw Feric served with Escadre No. 111, defending the Warsaw area. On 17 September he and other pilots were ordered to evacuate to Romania. Interned he escaped and travelled to France.  After training on French aircraft, he was assigned to flying Morane MS-406 fighters protecting aircraft works around Nantes. After the fall of France, Ferić evacuated in June 1940 to Great Britain. After advanced training at an RAF Operational Training Unit he was assigned to the newly formed No.303 RAF (Polish) (Kosciuszko) Fighter Squadron, based at RAF Northolt flying Hawker Hurricanes and entering service in the Battle of Britain on 31 August 1940. Mirosław Ferić was the 11th ranked Polish fighter ace with 8 and 2/3 confirmed kills and 1 probable kill. From September 1939 he had kept a personal diary, which became No.303 Squadron's unit history.
