Photos of Polish Fighter Pilots

#1

Post by Jeremy Dixon » 01 May 2007, 23:21

Has anyone got a photograph of Polish Spitfire pilots Jerzy Jankiewicz and Waclaw Giermer. I'm doing some research for a book and found out that these two shot down the German general Ulrich Grauert while flyign in a JU-52 over the English Channel.

If anyone has photos of these two please post the, or if you can help in any more information on this episode.

Thanks

oops, sorry, I answered your question for Grauert, but you knew the two polish pilots already. But in one of the links I gave there, a photo from "Der Adler" magazine is mentionend, showing one of the pilots.
