There is a certain amount of ignorant Polish people who think that everything is perfect in foraign countries but like I said they just ignorant.The train broke down?So what?You can try to tell me that no train ever broke down in UK but I won't believe it because I know stuff brakes from time to time and it's nothing unusuall.Few years ago a Greyhound I was on caught fire and burnt and didn't I notice any embarased Americans nor did I feel superior because no PKS with me on board ever caught on fire in Poland.
On a side note I really dislike the kind of Poles you described,they are ******* scum with no self respect.

It is obvious that you "westerners" try hard to be very patronizing towards "easterners" yet in your primitive minds you don't see that you are pretty much same as "easterners".
For instance,father of my buddy (an American) has a garage full of expensive tools.I asked him where he got all of them,he said "Oh,I just took it when i was retiring from Du Pont".Now,I can imagine the outcry on this forum if the guy was Polish.We already have threads "Poles are thieves","Poles steal on the job" and so on.But since the guy is an American,he just took it and he didn't see anything wrong with it.
Please do it.

I have had no problems with LOT's planes (not better or worse than AA or Aer Lingus) or delays but their ground staff is very mean,arrogant and unprofessional.
Few years ago I flew from WAW to BWI and during check in I was asked wheter I am US permanent resident or citizen.Now,I didn't know they have to ask that when they can't find US visa in Polish passport and I was in a bad mood that day so I told this women that it's none of her bussines.At this point other LOT broad told her "Don't check HIM in" instead of simply telling me that they have to ask this question.So, I had to explode and show them their place.Very mean and unprofessional in my opinion.

As for Poland,Poland being Eastern European country gets a lot of bad rap.I mean we all know that "westerners" (well ok,I can only talk about Americans but I guess same goes for other "westerners) picture Eastern Europe as a muddy cesspool full of poverty stricken creatures.I think when it comes to Americans,part of that image can be attributed to immigrants from Poland from 20's and 30's of XX century who came from some forgotten villages in kresy (Eastern Poland and today's Ukraine) who spread that view and Jews who consider Poland to be nothing but a huge cemetary.

Not in the US though I met "Polish" Americans who after they learned that I am from Poland were saying "Oh,cool I am a Polak too".
Of course.Americans know it's wrong and even though some of them were teasing me with "Polack" with no intention to seriously offend me,they were apologizing after they learned I don't find it funny.
It should be fucking simple,if you speak Polish with me and use word "Polak",I have no problem with that but if we speak English and you use "Polak" then yes,I do have a problem with it and you can be sure I will let you know about it.
It all depends on how it is thrown. With the intention of describing a Polish male in a neutral way, no problem.

You are wrong Delphiandomine. Other Americans have a problem with it too because the word "Polack" in America is an ethnic slur and polite genteel people wince when they hear it from the mouths of the low-brow morons that still use it. There are even shameful people that still use it on this forum when referring to Polish-Americans, people such as yourself.

History / 'Battle of Britain' won thanks to Polish aces !! [158]
As far as I remember Gnys never claimed this kill.He only claimed shooting at German bomber but he never said he actually saw German aircraft crashing into the ground.After landing he was informed about German bomber crashed in the area of operation and was credited with a kill.They would have much better chance of shooting Germans if they were flying PZL P24s which were equiped with 20 mm guns but were exported to Turkey,Romania and Bulgaria since PAF wanted P50 "Jastrząb".
Anyway,they didn't know what they were doing at the beginning of the war.From interview with Skalski:
"AH: What did you do on the first day of the war?
Skalski: In the afternoon of September 1, 1939, a Henschel Hs-126 [of Army Reconnaissance Group 21] crossed the border. That was reported to my division, and I took off with another pilot. Meanwhile, however, two pilots of the 141st Eskadra, 1st Lt. Marian Pisarek and Corporal Benedykt Mielczynski, had taken off on their second mission of the day to intercept a reported Do-17 formation at 3:21 p.m., when they spotted the Hs-126 and attacked it. After a few bursts, its engine stopped, and the plane came down in a field near Torun and flipped over on its back. I then found the plane and decided to see what maps or information it might have. I landed nearby and noticed plenty of blood in the Henschel's enclosed cockpit. The pilot, Friedrich Wimmer, was slightly wounded in the leg; his navigator, whose name was von Heymann, had nine bullets in his back and shoulder. I did what I could for them and stayed with them until 11 a.m., when an ambulance came.
AH: What became of the Germans?
Skalski: The prisoners were transferred to Warsaw. After the Soviet Union invaded Poland on September 17, they became prisoners of the Russians but were released at the end of October. When they were interrogated by the highest Luftwaffe authorities, Wimmer told them of my generosity. The Germans, who later learned that I had gone to Britain to fight on, said if I should became their prisoner I would be honored very highly. The observer, von Heymann, died in 1988. Three years later, the British air attaché and Luftwaffe archives helped me to contact Colonel Wimmer. I went to Bonn to meet him in March 1990, and the German ace Adolf Galland also came over at that time. In 1993, Polish television went with me to make a film with Wimmer. Reporters asked why I did it--why I landed and helped the people we had shot down, exposing my fighter and myself to enemy air attack. I was young, stupid and lucky. That is always my answer!"
And here is the part I was refering to earlier:
"AH: What was your impression of your CO, Squadron Leader Henry A.V. Hogan?
Skalski: Harry Hogan was a very good leader. I flew a lot as his No. 2. I used to switch off the radio, since I could not understand English and it just made me sick. I just flew close to Hogan's wings. He had to keep a close formation as he'd lead us against the 109s--we'd have to shoot our way through them and get to the bombers. It was really a piece of cake to shoot the bombers.
AH: What about tactics against German fighters?
Skalski: The British had no idea of tactics at first. Their squadrons used 12-plane formations, broken up into three-plane elements in line astern and in close formation--about 100 feet distance--stepped in height. You couldn't see anything. I began flying farther away, and Hogan remarked, "Are you scared of flying close?" I replied, "I want to see what's going on." I reminded him of the case of one British squadron in which the Germans shot down six planes and the leader didn't know what was happening. Hogan agreed: "Stanley is right--don't fly so close." Later, the British copied the Germans, with formations of four aircraft at different heights. The Germans' squadron leaders flew in line astern at the same level, with 200 meters distance on each side, depending on the sun. That way, they could watch and defend each other. Their double-paired "finger four" formation was more flexible."

Sometimes they had a very good reason to not follow orders.There is an interview with I think Skalski on YT who before creation of Polish squadrons flew in RAF squadron.He's saying there that at first RAF was using obsolete and not very smart tactic of squadron flying in a tight formation with all planes at the same altitude.
But Skalski didn't follow orders and always flew a bit further from the formation.Finally the squdron commander asked him if he is afraid of flying close to other planes.
Skalski responded "No,I am not afraid but flying so close I can't see anything."Later on RAF adopted the same tactic as Luftwaffe of formation flying in more loose fashion with planes flying at different altitudes.
Anyway guys look what I just found!

They were the most undisaplined aircrew around at that time,in a complex air battle that was won by putting the right amount of aeroplanes in the right place at the right time Polish aircrew would fly off on what would now be termed "wild weasel" flights,ie tearing out of formation after stragglers and lone bombers.
