PolishDragon, Thanks, this is the type of information I was looking for. I'll check all three sites in your note as I don't actually know what happened to the person during or after the war. I'm hoping to work through his records to identify descendants in Poland that I could contact about family history.

Jim: This website which you may have already seen would appear to be compehensive and knowledgeable: http://www.ostrycharz.free-online.co.uk/OB.html Did he die in the war? might be listed on Commonwealth War Graves site: http://www.cwgc.org and that would provide a military number for search purposes. There are numerous Polish War Graves in Scotland's cemeteries. Did he die in Scotland after the war? Then, Scotlands People is the place to go: http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk Pay a small fee and download up to 1950. "A Question of Honor" by Olson & Cloud (about the Polish Air Squadron) has a great bibliography and acknowledgements at the back. See if your local library has a copy. It does say Sikorsky Museum in England has info on Polish Army also, but Sikorsky website doesn't mention it. Good hunting.
