It's a bit of a trick question. You couldn't find any Polish squadrons based in the PTO because they didn't exist. Only one man who saw action with the Polish Airforce went on to fight in the Pacific. This man's name was Witold Urbanowicz and he has quite a story. He flew with the Polish airforce during the invasion of Poland, was captured by the Soviets, escaped to France and joined up with the RAF to go on to fight in the Battle of Britain. And in September of '43, he joined up with the US Army Air Corps to go fly combat missions in China against the Japs.
