The Poles try to demand things in return that the Allies aren't willing to give--maybe a couple of hundred modern fighter planes?
The Poles were actually to recieve on the eve of war 10! Hurricanes and 160 Morane Saulnier 405! Don't know if it were an exchange over Ultra...!![]()
I knew about the Morane Saulniers. They were actually 406s. The 405 was a prototype. I had heard 14 as the number of Hurricanes ordered, but that's from very old and possibly fallible memory. None of the MS406s ordered by Poland actually made it there, partly because the French were running behind on production due to engine shortages and only had a little over half the planes their airforce needed at the beginning of the war.
