Lotnisko Pobiednik 1939 / Airstrip in Pobiednik 1939
In the interwar period, in the northern part of the village of Pobiednik Wielki in today’s district of Kraków, a backup landing pad of the 2nd Aviation Regiment was built, based at Rakowice-Czyżyny airport in Kraków. From 1 to 4 September 1939, various air units of this regiment were stationed in Pobiednik – two squadrons of the Cracow III/2 Fighter Squadron (Nos 121 and 122), as well as planes of the 23rd and 26th Observation Squadron and Liaison Platoon No. 3. Fighter aircraft took off from here to fight German air bomber raids, and reconnaissance planes worked for the land units of the „Kraków” Army. The stay at the airstrip in Pobiednik, lasting only a few dozen hours, was an intensely active time for the Kraków aviation units.
