This is virtually all I knew about Sgt Ernest Faja
FAJA Sgt Ernest P-706799
He was a pilot and was born on 24th December 1920. He survived the war and returned to Poland in 1946. He is known to have served for much of the war in 304 Squadron and spent the latter part of his service with 16 SFTS at RAF Newton during which time he was married to Maria Machowska.
The following came from his son, Kazimierz:
In your mail you ask about some details from his life. I have some of them but not much:
He was born on 24th December in 1920 in Cieszyn, Poland. He attended to school of aviation in Dęblinek, Poland, but I don’t know which years he spent in army. After war (in 1946) he married Maria Machowska. She also was in army but as a medical staff (volunteer). Also in England was born their first son - my brother - Zbyszek. In the same year they came back to Poland, where me and my sister was born. After that Ernest worked in coalmine as a planner and manager. He died on 8th December in 1990 in mining hospital in Bytom because of health problems.
Can anyone help with information on Ernest Faja, or do you recognise anyone in these pictures?
