I think it is in Cynk's PAF at War but not fully certain at the moment. In any case I may post a copy within few days.

Hello Dean

if You can find a copy of Christopher Shore’s Duel for the Sky (Guild Publishing London 1985) there is the OoB of PAF on Sept 1th 1939 on page 20. How good it is, I cannot say. From it one can gauge that for ex. Army Karpatz had 31 Sqn at Werynian with 10 PZL P.23 Karas and 1 RWD 8 plus 52 Sqn at Mrowla with 7 Lublin R XIIIFs and 2 RWD 8s and 5 Liaison Flight with 3 RWD 8s.

And sorry I don’t have a scanner.
