F/Sgt.A.Wierzejski 308 Squadron 6 Dec 1944
Hi !
This pilot was killed while flying Spitfire ML170 on December 6,1944. 2nd Tactical AF (vol 2 p.351 - by C.Shores and C.Thomas) mentions it as crashed near Ghent (which is in Belgium), while other sources mention Leer in Germany. What is correct ? Many thanks and best regards from rainy Belgium. Luc

Hi !
This pilot is presently buried at Lommel Polish War Graves Cemetery (Belgium), which makes it unlikely that his plane crashed in Germany. Best regards Luc

Księga ku czci poległych lotników 1939-1945. Is that OK for you?
I would not consider internet the best place to look for info about the PAF.

Hi Franek,
I would not consider internet the best place to look for info about the PAF. I do hope that you do not mean that we should stop looking on the 12 O'Clock High site for info  Alex
