P39 Question for Arkan and Akilpio

[Outlaw Josey Wales]

Wouldn't the Germans have command of the Air within a couple of days?

One of the often repeated myths about the Polish Campaign was how the Luftwaffe destroyed the Polish Air Force on the ground on Day 1 and then had complete air superiority.  The actual facts are that the Polish Air Force suffered only 7% loss on Day 1 and remained actively in the fight until September 17th when the Red Army attacked Eastern Poland and started over running the air bases there. 

Many of the misconceptions about the Polish Campaign were born out of German propaganda during the war and then repeated over the years by historians, many of them of some repute.

I knew that.  They gave up the presence early on except near Warsaw.  Mostly all they got were A/C that didn't work for lack of a part or parts that were not yet delivered to give the impression everything was there.  Some really obsolete trainers as well.
