As for the Polish and Czech airmen, the book "Ils étaient là" has a good list of the full names of those that reached operationnal units. If you search any, I will be pleased to give you the full names listed.

Is the book written by native speakers? French tend to distort Polish names so badly, sometimes it is not possible to identify a man!

According to Polish sources the only victors were ppor. pil. Władysław Chciuk and ppor. pil. Władysław Gnyś, apart of Bursztyn. Perhaps it was credited to the French according to their victory system. Bursztyn's Morane was a romanic I rather than arabic 1 as confirmed by photos.
