Evgeniy, simply the war is not over for some people.
Ruy, I will do all my best.

I can hardly call it unproductive but indeed for some it brought completely nothing.

In fact nothing is clear. "An account of an airman"... Just one simple question to Franek: What is the name of this airman?
|
Łapkowski, commander of a section in the very combat.

By the way, this "maybe-collision" is completely uninteresting concerning the victories of I./ZG 1. Por. Okrzeja of the 112 eskadra was one of the fallen pilots, but he fought with Do 17`s of I./KG 2.

Those were the only losses of Brygada Pościgowa, apart of few damaged aircraft.

Kpt.Rolski seems to be the only one who wrote about a "Bf 110" on this day. In fact the pilots of III/4 saw no differences between a Do 17 and a Bf 110. They even didn`t know what a Bf 110 was.
For them both types - the unknown Bf 110 as well as the Do 17 - were just Do 17`s (look to the 2th September 1939 fightings were all Bf 110`s of ZG 1 were described as Do 17`s).
The so called "Bf 110" on the 4th were just Bf 109`s of I.(J)/LG 2. The German unit claimed 3 victories. The "Bf 110" stated by Rolski was just a mistake. German records so far do not confirm that I./ZG 1 flew this sortie.

Your whole comments have nothing to the reality. I have scans of original diary of the unit and there is no single mention of Me 110 apart of later comments, apparently added by Rolski at Salon. Initially Leśniewski 'was downed by Do-17s' and then later confirmed to be Me 110s. Apparently I.(J)/LG2 took part in the earlier combat and actually downed nothing.

You mean Polish documents. I think this is a very important difference. But regarding the participating German aircraft types these documents are
(almost) useless.

Absolutelly, Polish documents filed at the time of Polish Campaign.

A very good idea! The last time your fellowman Mirek was starting with furious personal attacks. I hope you make it better Franek.

You will see.
