The article discusses the position adopted by the Polish government-in-exile on the Soviet-Finnish war. After the outbreak of the military conflict, the Chief Commander’s Headquarters planned to create volunteer corps and air force troops comprising Polish soldiers detained in Lithuania and Latvia. General Sikorski argued that the creation of a special Polish unit in France would delay the formation of the Polish army, but he approved of the plan to dispatch the soldiers detained in the Baltic countries to Finland. After several rounds of talks with France, Sikorski consented to the creation of the Polish Independent Highland Brigade, a special unit assigned to the Finnish front. The article analyzes the military (creation of a special brigade) and political factors that contributed to the Polish government’s stance in negotiations.

The author presented the projects of the air force support for Finland from the Polish government-in-exile. General W. Sikorski’s government planned to create two squadrons – a fighter and a bomber one, from the Polish pilots interned in Latvia and Lithuania. The difficulties encountered by the Polish government led to the abandonment of the idea. In the mid-January 1940 the government introduced the idea of the formation of fighter squadron on the territory of France. The surplus of pilots and technical staff located in France was to comprise the cadre of squadron. The formation of squadron deranged the schedule of the reconstruction of the Polish Air Force on French soil. The end of the Soviet-Finnish War prevented sending the Polish squadron to Finland.
