		While Waclaw Lapkowski was an experienced pilot who became one of Poland's aces during the war, his early demise, like that of so many others, has relegated his achievements to the back pages of history, making them nearly forgotten.
		Many of those who are interested in World War II aviation and fighter aces have read the biographies, and first-hand accounts of air combat contained within, of such men as Douglas Bader, Witold Urbanowicz, Adolph Galland, and Gregory "Pappy" Boyington, to name just a few.
		To borrow a phrase from the British, Waclaw Lapkowski truly was one of "The Few", men whose skill and bravery helped stem the tide of German aggression and made Allied victory possible, at the cost of their own lives.

	True Birth Date of Kazimierz Pulaski
		In the record numbered II, which should be a repeat of record I, since it is the "clean" version, there are some omissions.
		Record number II was probably rewritten by the chancellery scribe who knew the prevailing conditions in Poland.
		It appears that because the copyist was unsure of the correctness in the original record (I), record number II gives only the name Kazimierz since it was first in order and sure.

		One of the Home Army's chief assassins is Maciek Chelmicki (Cybulski), a cheekily irreverent rebel who's been ordered to gun down Szczuka (Waclaw Zastrzezynski), the local Communist Party secretary.
