Re: Polish pilots in the Congo
Cheers Leendert,
I have very little information, and most of that comes from Zumbach's autobiography. I don't think Derlin flew with Zumbach, I think he was mentioned as having "flown away" after the controvertial Hammerskold shoot-down. I have a book about the Biafran war which mentions three pilots as ex-Congo veterans, Terry Peet (British) and Francois Reip, Henry Laurient (both Belgian) no details but they probably flew transport planes because they flew dc-3 FNAF. A South African, Charles Kearey was also in the Congo (he wrote three excellent flying novels). regards Keith
