Deadly Chase by Ronald Wong.
Shortly after D-Day the menace of the V-1 was revealed. Fighter pilots evolved a daring tactic to deal with these robot aircraft. Diving first to build up their speed to match that of the V-1, they would pull alongside and use the turbulent slipstream from their wing tips to topple the missile and cause it to crash relatively harmlessly in the fields of South East England.

Dzubeks Deblinskis by Ronald Wong.
On January 21st 1941, former personell of the Polish Air Forces C.W.L. Deblin Training Centre were formed into No.315 Deblinski (City of Deblin) Fighter Squadron at Acklington, England. This was the sixth Polish squadron formed in the RAF from expatriate airmen to continue the fight against Nazi Germany. In July 1944, the squadron, flying hte Mustang Mk.III became part of the Air Defence of Gerat Britain where its primary role became Diver Patrols against V-1 flying bombs from the continent, although it continued to fly armed reconnaissance, escort and other missions over occupied Europe. At this time the unit was led by the legendary Squadron Leader Eugeniusz Horbaczewski, nicknamed Dubek, who was to achieve 16.5 victoriesin the air, with 5.5 of these in the Mustang, plus 4 V-1s downed. The stories of his courage were many, the most notable being the occasion when he landed his Mustang on an uncompleted Normandy landing strip and flew one of his downed pilots home on his lap. The outstanding air battle for 315 Squadron occurred on August 18th 1944, when it engaged over 60 Luftwaffe fighters near Beauvais and destroyed 16 Me109s and Fw190s for the loss of one of their own, which sadly was that of Dzubek himself.

In 1945 German Occupation forces flooded areas of Holland to slow down
the advance of the Allied forces. This had a catastrophic impact on the
food supplies for the civilian population. Faced with defeat, the German
forces extended an amnesty to the Allies to drop food supplies to the
Dutch.
