Hi to all.
I am writing a short (ca. 18k characters) extract about South African share in delivering munitions to fighting Warsaw in VIII-IX'44.
I've found some books, including latest Neil Orpen's work. However, I am still looking for some other sources or monographs.
Have any of you any idea?
Pozdrawiam,

Hello to all ; some complement................................
Allied Air drops - Warsaw 1944.
The only real help for the fighters was the air drops in containers on parachutes by allied aircraft taking off from bases in southern Italy and Great Britain. The flights were extremely exhausting, dificult and dangerous for the airmen from Poland, the USA and from the British Empire. At least 220 lost their life. Nevertheless, during the Uprising, 306 allied aircraft dropped on the fighting city 159 tons of weaponry, medicines and provisions.
