"Jadwiga Pilsudska-Jaraczewska, who has died at the age of 94, was a Second World WAR pilot and a daughter of Marshal Jozef Pilsudski, the father of POLISH independence. She was the younger of two daughters of the celebrated military leader who helped Poland regain its independence at the end of the First WORLD WAR after being wiped off the map for 123 years. He commanded Polish troops in the 1920 victory against Bolshevik forces known as “The Miracle on the Vistula” that turned the tide in Poland’s favour during the Polish-Bolshevik war of 1919-1920. He went on to GUIDE the country until his death in 1935. Four years later his daughters fled the Nazi invasion and settled in Britain. Pilsudska-Jaraczewska was among the female pilots who worked the Air Transport Auxiliary, transporting warplanes around the country, alongside such BRITISH women as Freydis Sharland and Maureen Dunlop.
