It is one of the highlights of the Warsaw Rising Museum. Every visitor raises their head to ponder on its story. The Liberator piloted by Cpt. Zbigniew Szostak completed six vital airdrops of weapons, ammunition and medical supplies over fighting Warsaw in 1944. This one-to-one scale replica of Szostak’s Liberator pays homage to the bravery, skill and courage of the crew who gave their all to help Warsaw during its greatest hour of need. All seven crew members were sadly killed in action over southern Poland on 15 August 1944, by a Luftwaffe night fighter during their return flight back to Brindisi, Italy.
