General Ludomil Rayski Polish Air Force/RAF
Hi guys
Our friend Franek informed me about the involvement of General Rayski - commander of the Polish Air Force 1926-1939 - during the war following his arrival in the UK. Research reveals that he was permitted to fly with the RAF as a ferry pilot despite his status and age, receiving the DSO and AFC for his services. Franek tells me that the General led a ferry flight of Blenheims to Singapore shortly before the island fell. Can anyone provide further details? Dates would be a bonus. Cheers Brian
