Hello Democritus
'Pitu' Peckowski as he was known in No 304 Sqn PAF flew Wellingtons in Coastal Command service. He later joined RAF and at some point converted onto helicopters. He flew in Borneo with some distinction, and I believe a Sycamore in the RAF Museum was flown by him at some point. I know that he went for film work, but apart of doing a lot of filming, I know little about him. He did some flying with Lynn Garrison, but I could not find contact for him.
As to Ted Novak, I am confused. I recall Joe Kmiecik and Ted Szuwalski being involved in the filming, some funny stories being around.
Best wishes
Franek
