Hello
Why not connected? Yes, it is most interesting.
The man you mention was Stanisław Brzeski, he was a fighter ace, indeed, starting to score during the Polish Campaign. He was then in France, and flew combat missions during te French Campaign, but did not achieve any victories. During the Battle of Britain he was attached to No 307 Squadron under formation and equipped with Defiants. Following amutiny, he and other fighter pilots were transfered, so he get to No 303 Sqn in the last weeks of October for operational training. He then flew mostly with 317 and 303 Sqns. Shot down at the end of the war, he returned to the UK, and following disbandement of the PAF, he joined RAF.
He even has a page on English Wiki.
