The Polish 307 Squadron, which helped prevent Exeter from being totally destroyed in WWII, is featured in an exhibition to show how the Luftwaffe was fought over South West skies from RAF Exeter, now Exeter Airport.
The Polish pilots of 307 Squadron, who defended Exeter during the blitz on the city in 1942, were part of the RAF and known as the ‘Lwow Eagle Owls’ or the ‘night-fighters’ of Exeter.
