In August 1944, combat aircraft of the first Polish squadrons of the 1st “Warsaw” fighter air regiment and the 2nd “Kraków” bomber regiment landed on the fields of a former farmstead near Dys. As a commemoration of this event and in memory of all the aviators who took part in the Second World War, a 5-metre high monument topped by a figure of a fighter plane soaring into the sky was unveiled in the 1960s.
