"Quick, quick!" Rushing out of his quarters, Second Lieutenant Skalsky of the 142nd Squadron, while running, began to organize his equipment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Alerts, that's orders! Skarsky has always been strict with himself, and he has a habit of waking up early, and when he hears the alarm, he has just gotten up.

However, others were different, and some pilots, getting up, wearing underwear, began to run out.

What's going on?

"Attention, the Germans are already attacking on the border, and we will take off at once to meet the German plane!" The voice of the officer on duty rang out inside the base.

Germans, called?

Takeoff! Skalsky quickly ran to his fighter jet and strapped his bag.

"Quick, start the engine for me!" He shouted loudly.

"Report, there is no refueling and hanging bombs yet!" The ground crew who came in a hurry shouted.

It's not a state of war again, the planes are not in combat condition at all.

Hearing this, Skalsky jumped out of his cockpit and, together with the ground crew, quickly stuffed the machine-gun bullet into the bomb bay.

The fuel had just begun to be filled, and there was a rumbling sound in the sky in the distance.

"Quick, quick, start the plane for me now!" Skarsky knew that if he didn't take off quickly, he would be wrecked on the ground!

Now, there is no time to wait, although it has only just been refilled, it is enough!

Initiate!

With his shouting, the ground crew pulled out the fuel pipe in a panic, and just fastened the lid, the ground crew in front began to turn the propeller with their hands.

It's definitely a technical job.

There are various ways to start the engine of the aircraft, in the beginning, the aircraft mainly relied on the hand-cranked propeller, and some aircraft had a card slot in front of the propeller, which was used to jam the crank.

Technically, it is completely possible to use electric starting, but as long as you ride an electric car, you should know how heavy the battery is, for the bomber, the weight of the battery is nothing, but for the fighter, you must take care of this weight!

And for the old Polish fighters, hand crank start, is the most common way!

As the propeller turned, puffs of black smoke came out of the engine's nozzle, and then, the characteristic vibration came, and the engine started!

The Mercury VI S2 630 hp engine let out a roar, the throttle was pushed all the way, and Skarski shouted loudly: "Get out of the way, I'm going to take off!" ”

Wait, how is it that there is only 630 horsepower?

Of course, this 630 horsepower is already the largest aircraft engine in Poland at this stage!

Look at the shape of this aircraft, the upper monoplane, the seagull wing, the cockpit is in the back, it is still open, and the landing gear below is still not retractable, compared with the Luftwaffe fighters, this aircraft is far behind!

However, this is still the most advanced fighter in the Polish Air Force, the P11!

Poland's aviation industry, too, is autonomous. After the First World War, Poland developed a series of warplanes, among which the PZL Aviation Manufacturing Group has been improving.

In the early thirties, they made a modification with a more powerful air-cooled engine on the basis of the original P.7, which was the P.11 fighter.

The engines of the aircraft, mainly for the British, have progressed from the original Bristol Mercury IV S2 type 575 hp air-cooled engine to the current 630 hp C type.

In 1934, when the P.11c entered service, it was very advanced, but these years were also a period of rapid development of aviation technology.

All sorts of new technologies, large engines with more than a thousand horsepower, retractable landing gear, fully enclosed cockpits, etc., came out one after another, but the P.11c was not improved for a long time.

This fighter, with only four 7.7mm machine guns, can be said to be completely behind Germany by an era.

For example, the P.11 fighter had a top speed of only 365 kilometers per hour, which was even lower than that of some German bombers. In terms of maneuverability, among the German dive bombers, the maneuverability is similar to that of this fighter!

Although the Polish Air Force has a total of about 1,900 aircraft, very few of them are front-line combat aircraft, of which 650 are training aircraft, and the other 700 are obsolete and useless aircraft.

There are only 392 aircraft capable of taking off for combat, including 185 fighters, 114 reconnaissance fighters, 36 medium bombers, and 84 reconnaissance planes, of which the main fighters are 128 "PZL P.11" and 30 "PZL P.7".

Although the performance of the fighters of the Polish Air Force is not good, the quality of the Polish pilots is absolutely powerful! In later history, the moment when the Polish Air Force exerted its might was in the Battle of Britain!

And now, risking the danger and taking off urgently, it is the first ace pilot of the Polish Air Force in history!

The P11's 630-horsepower engine roared loudly, the two-bladed propeller was spinning rapidly, and the fixed landing gear was gliding and running on the runway.

"Watch the back!" The ground crew on the ground couldn't help but shout loudly.

In the sky, a BF109 suddenly emerged from the clouds and swooped quickly towards the airport! On the side of the fuselage, the black cross is so dazzling.

In the cabin, Corporal Heinz looked at his prey with cold eyes.

Heinz Bahr was born on 21 March 1913 in Somerfeld, near Leipzig. He was a glider enthusiast as a teenager, began gliding training at the age of 17, and later joined secret pilot training and went to the Soviet Union.

In 1935, Barr officially joined the Luftwaffe, flying first the Junkers 52/3m, and then the BF109, assigned to the 51st Day Fighter Wing commanded by Moldes.

After that, he entered the Spanish battlefield, but unfortunately, when his squadron rotated past, it was already in the late stage of the Spanish Civil War, and there were no government fighters in the sky.

Now, the real battle is finally here! As a pilot of the 1st Squadron of the 1st Group, he and his fellow squadrons flew fighter planes and escorted a group of bombers to bomb Polish airfields.

They took off with the rest of the formation, and when they reached the border, the official declaration of war began.

So, along the way, there were no obstacles, the Pole had not yet completed preparations for takeoff, and before coming to the airfield, he saw the fighter plane taking off on the runway and immediately dived down!

His eyesight is the best, and at the same time, his eagerness to fight, this take-off fighter plane, is his prey! Like a ferocious eagle, BF109, swoops down from the sky.
