looking for info on Polish RAF pilot Wladyslaw Zigmund Nowak.
Hi there,
I´m looking for any information you might have an a Polish officer (rank unknown) named Wladyslaw Zigmund Nowak (his middle name is sometimes spelled as Sigmund) .
He is the nephew of (and named after) the better known F/O Wladyslaw Nowak who downed a He-111 in the night of 10-11 may 1941 while flying for no.306 sqn.
So there should be 2 Wladyslaw Nowak´s in the Polish records.
The Nowak I´m looking for was based at RAF Northolt at some time in the war (so possibly 303, 306, 315 or 316 sqn??)
All I know is that he flew Spitfires so there for I assume he joined an operational squadron after mid 1941. He survived the war and stayed in the UK until his death some years ago.
Sorry for the fact that I can not provide more info on places and dates. Any help would be appreciated. The man in question is the father of a friend of mine and she does not really know a lot about his wartime experiences since she was rather young when he died.
Thanks a million
Anton
PS Any tips of other forums/message boards where I could post this question would also be welcomed.
