Re: Zbigniew Janicki
Hi all,
Just for clarification sake. Janicki flew two operational sorties with 32 squadron during the period required to qualify for the BoB clasp. His first was with blue section on October 16th 1940 flying V6724. His second was on October 29th flying with red section in P3936. Regards Gerry |

Re: Zbigniew Janicki
Well that's interesting Col. Bruggy because I was quoting his service number as logged with the 8th USAAF, and here are a couple of pages from his MACR. Are you saying that these primary source documents are incorrect?

Re: Zbigniew Janicki
Peter,
The MACR is wrong. Polish Air Force officers who served in the RAF received a four digit number, starting with a P. Thus Eugeniusz Horbaczewski is P0273. Poles who actually joined the RAF received a five digit number, and thus Janicki is 76694 or 76697 if Col is correct. I have no way of checking which is correct, or why the wrong one is associated with Janicki. Enjoy! Frank.

Re: Zbigniew Janicki
Thanks Frank. Certainly strange because I would have thought that Janicki would have given his service number when joining the 56th or it would have been with any transfer forms. Certainly, Lanny's P-0711 on the MACR follows what you say.

Re: Zbigniew Janicki
Looks like the USAAF got it wrong from the outset then. Here's part of 56th FG Special Order # 65 dated 14th May 1944.

Re: Zbigniew Janicki
Hello,
RUTKOWSKI (P-0692)and LANOWSKI (P-0711)stayed with the PAF and retained their original Polish numbers, JANICKI transferred to The RAF and received an RAF Officer's number, ie 76697. Col. |
