Re: Polish Airmen.
Hallo Franek and Dick,
Thank you both for your valuable assistance. Only 16 Polish airmen arrived in (neutral) Ireland during WW2, 7 of whom died in crashes.
The book by T.J. Krzystek seems like a wonderful resource. Unfortunately I suppose it will never be published in English ?
Franek, I have a few queries arising out of the information you supplied.
Concerning service numbers allocated to Polish airmen in the UK. While I have Aces High, Vol. 2 by Christopher Shores the relevant part does not cover all aspects of Polish service numbers.
Did Polish AF officers only receive a Polish service number (e.g. P-0557) and no Royal Air Force number ?
Did enlisted men and NCOs receive only a Royal Air Force service number (six digits, with a 'P' prefix ) ?
For K.S. Pasieka, does ' 1956, RSA' indicate he emmigrated to the Republic of South Africa in 1956 ?
Thanks once more, Regards,
Martin.
