And Great Gone, sad news indeed.


Skalski was the most succesful Polish ace, finishing the war with 21 or more kills. 6 of these he scored with the Polish Air Force. His total with the RAF was 15 plus 3 unconfimed. After he returned home after the war, he was thrown in jail for 8 years by the communists, though he later served in the air force there, retiring as a general.
