Most of the pilots were from the Polish city of Deblin, a famous nursery for Polish airmen, and 315 squadron became known as "Deblinski". The Polish pilots flew Hurricanes, Spitfires and Mustangs and served at bases throughout England and Norhtern Ireland during the Battle of Britain and until the end of the war.
