Poem

Hawker Hurricane was his plane.
 Karubin was chasing a German fighter
 at tree top level, when his Hurricane
 had run out of ammunition.
 
Karubin closed the distance
 and climbed right above
 the German fighter,
 who crashed into the ground
 
when he had seen, underside of Hurricane 
within arm’s reach of his cockpit.
 The German pilot tried to avoid the collision,
 reducing altitude without precision.
 
In 1944 on D-Day,
 he and all members of his Squadron 303
 flew many times
 over the landing beaches.
 
Division 303 used its Spitfires
 on various ground attack missions
 on V-1 and V-2 launch sites,
 located in the Netherlands.
 
Pilots from Squadron 303
 claimed 126 kills in six weeks,
 had 7 their pilots killed and 5 badly wounded,
 but were not invited

 to London Victory Parade in 1946
 and Western betrayal of their country
 culminated upon taking half of their homeland -
 braking morale of the broken winners.
