Re: Loss of 138 Sqn Halifax V9976 20-21/4/1942

I have a fairly good library but I cant see a fighter claim which might match. The various published sources seem to suggest that V9976 was flown by F/O R Zygmuntowicz (Polish AF) with W/C WR Farley DFC (OC 138 Sqdn) aboard and crashed into the mountainside in heavy fog.

I am surprised to see mention of NKVD agents aboard the aircraft, a seriously explosive mix with Free Polish airmen (in my view), although if there were such people aboard that might explain why Farley was there.
