Mirek Wawrzynski is an unknown quantity at this point
Yes big mass of info about this case

Yes I have seen in one Hungarian book (Hungarian eagle If right rember 9 Blenheim + 1 S.79 -?).
The point is that there are different data of despached planes they are from 10 up to 14 Blenheims (no any S.79) of 68,. 69 Grupa of 8. Puk.

According official VVKJ lost list they had lost only 7 Blenheims (all 21 KIA) of which sure 5, could be the next -6th over Hungarian territory, and 1 more over own (crew bailed out around Bela Crkva was killed/mordered by members of Hungarian organization “Nemzet”. Plane dropted to river Tisa.

So the 5 could be shot down over Seged + 2 over Pesc by Hungarian A/A?

The 3 planes landed on own airfiled (one in Novi Sad). So the most probably were despached only 10 bombers no more like 12, 13, 14.
from this grup 3 sure (4-th crew bailed out) Blenheims were shot down over Seged + 2 next over Pecs.

Germans if right remeber claimed (5./JG 54) 6 victories over Seged.
BTw on Pecs airfiled were lost 2 Me 109 (95%, 100% damages) there are no infor about reason of this loss (JG 54: Me 109 E-1 +E-7), maybe after the bomb run of Blenheims?
