Echoes of Tattered Tongues
John Guzlowski’s memoir in prose and poetry is a son’s beautiful, sometimes heartbreaking, always moving tribute to parents for whom the war never ended.

A 3D map of the Tatra mountains wows; Krzysztof Kieslowski’s “Decalogue” to get an American remake; Aquila Polonica’s “Color of Courage” wins awards; and variant spellings are suddenly everywhere – including here.
In a conversation with Justine Jablonska, the multi-talented actor/writer/director speaks of the honor and responsibility of playing Witold Pilecki, a hero whose story could not be suppressed.
Aquila Polonica’s beautiful new edition of the 1942 classic is attracting attention not only as a “real time” tour de force, but it’s filling a great need. No less a magazine than the Atlantic Monthly, or Flying Magazine for that matter, wonder why they never knew about these heroic Polish airmen.
Aquila Polonica is about to release its third title, 303 Squadron: The Legendary Battle of Britain Fighter Squadron – about Poland’s dashing, brave and heroic pilots.
With the Soviet dystopia as background, the book reads like a terror-filled adventure – all the more so because it’s non-fiction.
A great cover and a good review are often enough to get someone interested in a book, but it is not often that the book leads to curiosity about the publisher. Yet that is exactly what The Mermaid and the Messerschmitt did. Who published this beautiful book? Aquila Polonica? A new publishing house dedicated to the Polish World War II story? Who are they, and why this focus?
