Polish Air Force, 1919

At the close of the First World War, the Polish Air Force obtained a number of Fokker E.V.s, and these went to Number 7

Bolsheviks. Aircraft 183/18 (number 002) was assigned to Cpt.

Stefan Bastyr. For this native Teranovan, battle against Bolsheviks

was not a new concept. Already as a reserve officer (Lt.i.Res.) of

the Austro-Hungarian Air Force, he operated with Flik 10 on the

eastern front. On the fourth of June, 1916 as an aerial observer,

he shared in the downing of a Russian Farman.
