English: The Polish Air Force in the United Kingdom, 1939-1945. Colour party bearing the Polish Air Force standard marches past ranks of saluting airmen after the presentation ceremony at Swinderby, Lincolnshire. The standard was made by women and their families in Wilno (Vilnius), Poland, then occupied by the Red Army, and was smuggled to Sweden by Japanese diplomats, from where it eventually reached the United Kingdom in March 1941. Motto on the standard reads - "Miłość żąda ofiary - Love Demands Sacrifice". |

Licensing
editThis image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. ![]() |
