American pilot volunteers fighting along Poland during Polish-Bolschevik war of 1920 named their squadron after Kościuszko.

Polish Squadron 303 fighting during Battle of Britain had been continuing traditions of American Pilots.

> Perhaps the most famous successor to the original Kościuszko Squadron would be the World War II No. 303 "Kościuszko" Polish Fighter Squadron (Warszawski im. Tadeusza Kościuszki), the most successful fighter squadron in the Battle of Britain.
