Biography
Before World War II Chudek served in Polish 114th Fighter Escadrille.[1] After the Soviet invasion of Poland he crossed the border with Romania, then he came to France and finally, on 27 June 1940, arrived in the United Kingdom. After a brief exchange rate, he has been assigned to an auxiliary unit of the RAF as a pilot distributing new or refurbished aircraft at airports across the UK.[2] In June 1941 he was transferred to No. 55 Operational Training Unit and began training on Hurricane. In July he was assigned to No. 315 Polish Fighter Squadron where he flew Spitfires. On 14 August 1941 he shot down his first plane. In July 1943 he was posted for three months in No. 303 Polish Fighter Squadron.[3] On 23 June 1944 he flew over Normandy and never came back.[4] Initially it was thought that his plane fell into the sea, but in 2009 it was found that the plane crashed between the towns of Le Plessis-Grimoult and Roucamps.[5]
On 23 June 2009, 65 years after the crash, a monument dedicated to Aleksander Chudek was erected in Le Plessis-Grimoult.[6]
