Polish Air Force 1919-35 (retired) Postings: 14FPP Two accidents, one his fault: - 13 Nov 1942 - he taxied his Magister P2407 into a lorry, due to faulty brakes. As he had been taxying for five minutes, they reckoned he "should have discovered previously" that the brakes were faulty - 17 Mar 1943, he crashed in Mustang I AG566 after the engine failed and caught fire on take-off. The aircraft was burnt out; luckily, he was uninjured.
d. 8 May 1981 Buried in Wielkopolska, Poznań, Poland
