The unit is formed at Kirton in Lindsey, mostly from members of the pre-war Polish fighter squadrons III/5 and III/6. After the squadron was formed, there was disillusionment among pilots who had experience of fighting over Poland and France that instead of the expected Hurricanes the unit received Boulton Paul Defiant Mk.I aircraft, where the pilot was merely a "taxi driver" to the deck gunner. Following a complaint to the Inspectorate of the Polish Air Force, the disgruntled pilots were transferred to day fighter squadrons and the squadron was replenished with pilots who were willing and happy to be deployed into combat. Therefore, the squadron was not declared operational until almost half a year after its formation. From December it began patrolling over sea lanes in the Irish Sea.
During this year the squadron gained no victories and lost no airmen.
