ABSTRACT

Ujejski, Stanistaw (1891-1981) Polish major general, commander in chief of the Polish Air Force. In 1939, Ujejski was the chief of the army air staff. Between 1940 and 1943, as commander in chief of the Polish Air Force, he laid the foundations of its organization, and built it up to a level of sixteen squadrons. Two of those units distinguished themselves in the Battle of Britain (q.v.). He was somewhat unpopular with his younger pilots, due to a lack of combat experience.
