Dzubeks Deblinskis by Ronald Wong  On January 14th, former personnel of the Polish Air Force's C.W.L. Deblin training centre were formed into number 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 the Mustang MkIII (P51C), became part of the Air Defence of Great Britain (ADGB) where it's primary role became "Diver Patrols" against V1 flying bombs from the Continent, although it continued to fly armed reconnaissance, escort and other mission over Occupied Europe. At this time the unit was led by the legendary Squadron Leader Eugeniusz Horbaczewski (nicknamed "Dzubek") who was to achieve 16½ victories in the air (5½ in the Mustang) plus 4 V1's 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 18, 1944 when it engaged over 60 Luftwaffe fighters near Beauvais and destroyed 16 ME 109's and FW 190's for the loss of one of their own, which sadly was that of Dzubek himself.
