По сравнению c Bf 109 и Bf 110, истребители PZL Р.11 были достаточно устаревшими самолетами со слабым вооружением, у них не было никаких шансов на успех в сражениях.
Line-up of PZL P 11es - powerplant was either a 490-560hp Polish Skoda - or PZL-built Mercury VS.2, or a 605-645hp Mercury VIS.2.
In Poland Zura had flown PZL P.7 and P.11 fighters - these P.11Cs are from No 112 Eskadra, Polish Air Force.

Auxiliary Spitfires treat the visitors to a little fancy work.
Zura arrived in Britain in the lull before the Battle of Britain began. Here Spitfire Mk Is of 611 Sqn perform a “playful shoot-up” for the benefit of Flight’s photographer. Zura would serve with another Auxiliary squadron, 609, from early October 1940.

In June 1942 Zura took command of No 316 Warszawski Sqn, based at Heston with Spitfire Mk VBs. One of the unit’s Spitfires, BL479/SZ-X, is seen here up from its previous base at Northolt in early 1942.

The R.A.F. is but one of many military air services employing the versatile De Havilland Tiger Moth trainer. The engine is the Gipsy Major.
DE HAVILLAND TIGER MOTH: Trainer (Gipsy Major engine - 130 h.p. at sea level); span, 29ft. 4in.; gross weight, 1,825 lb.; max. speed, 109 m.p.h.
Having served in the Polish Air Force from 1934 until late 1939, Zura was already an accomplished fighter pilot by the time he came to England - but he had had to leave his logbook in Poland, and his first check-flight from British soil was in a de Havilland Tiger Moth belonging to an Army Co-operation unit at Old Sarum. This delightful portrait of uncamouflaged RAF Tiger L6923 was taken above cloud over Hatfield in October 1937.

Fireworks: after watching Zura’s cartwheel manoeuvre at Farnborough in 1951, Aeroplane cartoonist Wren wondered whether “perhaps next time he’ll shoot off his war stores”. Zura used the weight of tip-tanks and rockets to provide extra lateral inertia and help spin his Gloster Meteor.
