Hello,
They also say he was a member of 61 (R.A.F.) Sqdn., which he was not. Col. |

Re: Zbigniew Janicki
According to Anglo-Polish agreement, Polish airmen arriving to the UK in 1939/40 became members of RAFVR, due to the British law preventing foreign troops to be based on the British soil. The law was ammended following fall of France, and according to the new agreement all Polish AF officers arriving from France were already registered in P-XXXX series. All RAFVR Poles were then transferred to the PAF, but retained their RAFVR numbers. Since then ex-RAFVR numbers are usually listed with P prefix.
Janicki had a wife, he married her illegally (without consent of superiors) and was sentenced for that. |

Re: Zbigniew Janicki
Hello,
Just a thought, but even in these days when a number 4 or a 7 is badly written or even typed on an old typewriter or one that has a dryied up tape. The 4 and 7 can and does easily be misread. This may well be the cause of the serial number being misinterpreted. It would perhaps have been copied originally from a hand written document therefore being mistyped and in time bringing us to this question in this thread ? Alex |
