Flying Amputees
Hi guys
I am interested to establish identities of WW2 aircrew from all nations who continued to fly on operations (or even non-operations) following the loss of a limb. Any suggestions?
I am aware of the obvious (Bader, Hodgkinson, MacLachlan) but there were many others. Who were they?
Franek - I understand there was a Polish pilot named Grzanka who had lost a leg (or both) but after being fitted with artificial limb/s continued to fly with 307 Squadron before being killed in a flying accident on 2 August 1943. Have you details of his accident?
Over to the knowledgeable!
Cheers
Brian
