Dear All,
Do you happen to know if Zbigniew Janicki (http://bbm.org.uk/airmen/Janicki.htm) was married?
If so, who was his wife?
Thank you very much in advance.

Maybe this time I'll be lucky...?

Re: Zbigniew Janicki
 

Zbigniew Janicki, no middle initial, married Susanna V. (nee Donohue) in Northumberland in the December 1940 Qtr.


There are three other Zbigniew Janicki's marrying in the UK but all of them are after June 1944.


It may be of interest that out of the 1940 union was born a daughter, Anna D., in Blackpool, in the March 1944 Qtr.

Dave

Dear Alex,
Thank you for your answer, but, unfortunately, I don't know the abbreviations MACR and NoK. What do they mean?

Re: Zbigniew Janicki
 

MACR = Missing Air Crew Report (the US Air Force document issued when an air crew got missing)

NoK = Next of Kin (closest parent to be contacted, appears in most MACR with name, adress and relation (wife, father, mother, etc...))

Not meaning to cast aspersions, but is he entitled to be regarded as a Battle of Britain fighter pilot? The first Squadron he was posted to was 32 Sqdn at Acklington then to 46 Sqdn at North Weald in November 1940, technically after the end of the BoB.
Taking nothing away from him or his achievements, just asking what qualifies someone for a BoB entry.

The American Air Museum in Britain gives his Nationality as "American" http://www.americanairmuseum.com/person/238463 with a Service Number, and presumably he's in that group photo.

You might also want to contact Franek Grabowski who posts on the Military Aviation section of PPRuNe and appears to have many details of WW2 Polich airmen.

Re: Zbigniew Janicki
 

His service number was P-76694. The "P" indicating that he was a Polish officer.
