Connecticut State University’s S.A. Blejwas Chair in Polish and
Polish American Studies has joined with the Kosciuszko Foundation in
New York City, the New England Air Museum and the Government of the
Republic of Poland to commemorate the bravery and historic service
of the men who served in the famed Kosciuszko Squadron of the Polish
Air Force. The centerpiece of these efforts will be a permanent
exhibit devoted to the Squadron at the New England Air Museum.
CCSU’s Burritt Library will become the repository of a major
collection devoted to the history of Polish aviation.
This Web site
will serve to present historical and archival information as well as
announce upcoming events and exhibits and provide a forum for all
those interested in these great but nonetheless forgotten heroes of
Poland.
