Eugeniusz Horbaczewski
Five of his confirmed victories took place over North
Africa. He was killed in 1944 when 12 Polish fighters very successfully
attacked a group of 60 German fighters, achieving 16 confirmed victories,
one probable victory, and they damaged an additional three German planes
(16 ---- 1 ---- 3). He was the only Polish loss in this spectacular
engagement. He was posthumously promoted from Kapitan to Major.
