SIERZ F. PRETKIEWICZ
245 SQDN.
30TH NOVEMBER 1940 AGE 26
POLISH FORCES

A connection in Poland told me that Sergeant Pretkiewicz was killed in a Hurricane crash when he tried to bail out following engine failure. His parachute was caught in the fuselage.

He had escaped Poland via Romania

 I cannot confirm or stand over this as it came from a secondary source and I haven't been able to investigate it further.
