I thought that might be the case. A web search turned up only a handful of instances for the name 'Siludski', and all from Belgian poetry websites.

The work was written in serial format and tells of two Polish brothers who as RAF pilots visited attacks on the town of Brustem over a two-year period. As mentioned, the rough translation of the title is 'Phantom Aviators of Brustem'. Perhaps somebody who speaks Dutch can give us a better description of the story.

A full copy of the poem can be found here: http://www.verhalensite.com/info2.ph...&ss=r&id=39106
