You are correct - photo source: http://www.dws-xip.pl/wojna/bron/polska/p25.html

Over to Poland!

[pst59]

It is portrait of Polish officer.
Question is; what is his name and rank (on this picture)?
Piotr

[pst59]

Because nobody have answered, I'll change my question.
What uniform did this officer wear?

[minimus]

Isn't this General Haller? :roll:
In that case it would be a blue uniform of French origin.

[pst59]

Sorry. He isn't gen Haller.
It may be helpful, to look for successful campaign.

[pst59]

Because it is still a problem to answer, I'm a going to ask new question:
What a aeroplane it is?


By the way here is a source of portrait:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B3zef ... C5%9Bnicki

Next question: who is this man?

Good evening!

Sorry, not.
A hint: he served in Imperial Russian Air Force during WW1 and scored 4 certain kills and 5 probable kills. Later on he joined Polish Air Force.
