The Polish navy 1918 - 1945 : from the Polish-Soviet War to World War II /Przemys±aw Budzbon ; illustrated by Paul Wright.
"In this fully illustrated book, Polish naval expert Przemyslaw Budzbon explains how the Polish Navy was developed and surveys its contribution in exile to the war effort using Poland's surviving warships as welll as British-built destroyers, submarines MTBs and a cruiser. He recounts how most famously, the Polish destroyer Piorun took on the fleeing Bismarck in a lone gun duel, and how Poles contributed to the Allied effort in the Battle of the Atlantic, the Arctic Convoys, and at the Normandy landings."
