Mieczyslaw Jozef LEWANDOWSKI P-0010

[Phil Listemann]

Hello Everyone,

The above mentioned pilot was among the very first few pilots to enlist in the PAF in England. Does anyone know anything about his military carreer? There are many Lewandowski who served the PAF, and this one may have flown with the 309 by the end of war.

TIA

Phil
