Tribute to Fighter Ace P/O Boleslaw Michal Gladych by Ivan Berryman (PC)
No.303 Squadron took off from Northolt at 1937 hrs to take part in Circus No. 20 by escorting six Blenheim bombers in an attack on Mardyke aerodrome The Spitfires were intercepted by the Luftwaffe, and in the course of the dogfight P/O Gladych shot down a Bf109 and then while doing a steep turn to avoid an attacker he collided with the tail section of another Bf109. He suffered a serious injury to his head when struck by a fragment of the German plane and was only semi-conscious when he attempted to make an emergency landing at RAF Manston. He was unable to make it to the airfield and crash-landed near Ramsgate, hitting a telephone pole in the process.
