Who killed the general Sikorski?

[Chevan]

Recently i've read the article about polish commander in London Bladislav Sikorski. He has tragically perished in 4 jule of the 1943( together with 15 other people) , flying to London on the british Liberator.
The official version was refusal of the ruling system of Aircraft.
However there is still exist the strong version - he was simply eliminated.He was too bright political figure that some forces behind his allies could simply change him to the other poles - for instance Mikolaichik, that was more loyal and less "independent" figure in policy.
What is you oppinion?

The story of Gen. Vladislav Sikorsky certanly is a puzzle.

His pilot Edward Prchal (survived the crash) was one of only few pilots with permision to land and take-off at Gibraltar at night, some of the occupants of the downed plane perished without a trace, there were reports of at least two unauthorised persons being in contact with the Liberator before the flight that ended in crash.

That were just some of the circumstances involved in that puzzle. I too incline towards political reasons for this crash to be executed, but the details that can confirm that are sadly beyond our reach.

But, as history showed so namy times, this could have been just another aircraft falling from the sky in the wrong time, with the wrong crew aboard.

didn't I see something on the History channel a while back on this. I seem to remember some sort of computerized detail of the takeoff and the possibility of flaps being set wrong for takeoff or something?

My magazine is doing a short news item on this anything anyone comes up with beyond the orig news source would be helpful.

Thanks

An early issue of "After the Battle" magazine had an article about the General's death.

I just dealt with this issue for the first time, I have to admit I learned about Gen. Sikorski just through this thread. Strange circumstances indeed, I read in a german newspaper (Hamburger Abendblatt from July 8th) the files on this case remain sealed until 2050 and that it is indeed planned to exhume and examine the mortal remains.
