Death of Captain Szostak’s Crew
During the return flight after a supply drop for the Warsaw Uprising fighters, a Consolidated B-24 Liberator was shot down over the Niepołomice Forest. While attempting to bail out at low altitude, the entire Polish crew perished: Captain Zbigniew Szostak, Sergeant Józef Bielicki, Captain Stanisław Daniel, Sergeant Józef Witek, Sergeant Tadeusz Dubowski, Sergeant Wincenty Rutkowski, and Sergeant Stanisław Malczyk.
