In fact, nobody else is (or has been) remotely close. I like that, unlike many other top contest pilots, he is not afraid of the PW5. He has a book in Polish titled (translated) "Second is last" |

I do highly recommend his book "Sky full of heat", available in English and German. Although it deals a lot with his childhood and youth in the beginning, it gives an excellent insight into how he became what he is today...
