We invite you to another lecture in the series ‘Shadows of War. Meetings about Loss and Memory’.

The use of military aviation during World War I permanently changed the art of warfare.

It was no coincidence, then, that the reborn Republic of Poland immediately began to create air squadrons, which distinguished themselves during the fighting against the Bolsheviks in 1920.

In the following years, military aviation was regularly expanded and modernised, and the skills of Polish pilots were admired both at home and abroad.

Modernisation programmes included the upgrading of existing airports and the creation of new ones, including in Świdnik near Lublin.

Dr Marcin Paluch, a renowned expert on the subject and lecturer at the Military Aviation Academy in Dęblin, will talk about the potential of the Second Polish Republic's military aviation and its development prospects in the years 1935-1939.

The lecture will take place on Tuesday, 16 December, at 4 p.m. at the Józef Czechowicz Museum in Lublin, ul. Złota 3.

The series ‘Shadows of War’ is held under the honorary patronage of the Office for War Veterans and Victims of Oppression.

We invite to attend!
