At a time when every day could be the last, they didn't hesitate to perform extreme airborne manoeuvres to hit their targets. No-one flew quite like them. Their extraordinary skills and genuine patriotism can be an example for future generations of Poles, of what true heroism is. The film not only tells about the spectacular actions in which they took part in the Battle of Britain, but also shows their private lives: Who they loved, lost and missed.
