[Hans Nauta]

Dear all,

In the night of 11/12th June 1941 Wellington W5666 of 300 Squadron had to ditch on the North Sea, about West of the Isle of Texel. The crew consisted of:

Pilot F/O Stanislaw Tadeusz SEDZIK, P.0479, POW
2nd Pilot Sgt Ludwik MACIEJ, P.792369, POW
Observer P/O Walerian SOJKA, P.1449, POW
W.OP/Air gunner Sgt Zygmunt Jan CHOWANSKI, P.780821, MIA
Front gunner Sgt Waclaw WEINBERG, P.781630, POW
Rear gunner Sgt Stanislaw KRUK SCHUSTER, POW and repatriated? No service number.

I wonder if one of the crew members has ever made an account of their ditching in one or another (Polish?) article or publication.

There's not much more information in The Polish Air Force At War by Jerzy B. Cynk and I also have some Liberation Questionnaires of three of the crew from The National Archives in London, but these don't contain detailed information of their last flight.

Hope someone has a link on file or on his shelves.

Thanks in advance and best regards,
Hans Nauta
