P/O Tadec Felc
Royal Air Force 317 Sqd
from:Poland
My father Robert Wells RAF pilot on c47 dakotas in India 1944/45 on 194 sqd was married in 1947 to Jean Ryson of Carlisle Cumberland she had a best friend Maggie who married a Polish Spitfire pilot and as a small boy remember being told he was shot down over France approx 1943 and was sent to StalagLuft III and was involved in tunnel digging and when names were put in a hat to find who was going out his name was not picked out and he cried on his bunk all night. This must have been awful and he also was forced to march out hundreds of miles as the Allies advanced. My parents are gone now, as is Maggie and I was told T.Felc died from cancer approx 1960. I know they had a daughter Joanna and a son name unknown. Joanna still lives in Carlisle but I have no other info. I was fascinated as a boy of my Dads stories of this Polish pilot and all of the brave Polish Pilots. I would like to know if anyone has any info about him.
