Parachute operations, and in particular airdrops with supplies for the occupied country during World War II, constitute a very little-known chapter of aviation history, because while aviation as a symbol of modernity — paradoxically — left behind many permanent monuments: both machines and the places where they operated, parachute operations are perceived as a fleeting historical fact. Supply drop reception fields for the Home Army and clandestine landing strips — due to their purpose and role — did not leave such a prominent mark on the landscape and human consciousness. The records of Section VI of the Commander-in-Chief’s Staff in London — responsible for air communication with the occupied country — covered 642 sites meeting very stringent conditions. Some of them, as a result of military operations, were no longer suitable for conducting airdrop missions or receiving landing aircraft. Some operated in later periods under changed code names.
