З артыкула "Improvising an Air Service: The Rise of Military Aviation in Poland, 1918–1920":

"The new campaign season opened with the invasion of Ukraine in April, a blow intended on the largest possible scale. In pursuit of a decisive victory both sides deployed the largest concentrations of air power available, and Polish units now encountered opposing forces in significant numbers, which contested command of the air and har- assed friendly units. Air operations were more intense than ever, and not just in support- ing the offensive. Air power was often used where ground units were scarce. For example, in fighting around Svietlahorsk (Szaciłki) in April, 12th and 13th Squadrons launched 150 sorties. The weight of air power told in fighting in May. Reports document intense, effective action, suppressing enemy batteries, putting to flight armoured trains, and strafing columns of horse and foot. Piłsudski congratulated the force for ‘never failing to meet my expectations’. Yet strains were soon evident. Only a month into the great offensive commanders began to curtail missions, owing to the ‘fatal state’ of forces. A good example is the wing assigned to the Fourth Army. Units had gone into the field before completing reorganization and refit; one squadron existed only on paper and another had yet to arrive, while no repair park was assigned. The three assigned formations were down to 10 aircraft by May. Again work at the CWL ground to a halt, while mobile parks were overwhelmed. And there was no arrival of fresh squadrons this time. The pur- chase of Phönix aircraft in Vienna was bruited as a stopgap, but rejected as unlikely to fulfil the service’s need in the time desired. Units were told to wait on orders of Bristol Fighters and SVAs, expected at any moment. In contrast to the material state of the force, cadres were abundant, with front-line units reporting 155 pilots and 53 observers. Fortunately, enemy air operations fell off even more precipitously than the friendly, com- pletely ceasing operations in key sectors such as Bobruisk."

З артыкула "Wielkopolskie lotnictwo wojskowe 1919-1921":
"Z powodu choroby powrócił do Poznania ppor. Wiktor Pniewski, dotychczasowy dowódca. Od 2 stycznia 1920 roku dowodzenie przejął por. obs. Maksymilian Kowalewski, a następnie 3 marca kpt. pil. Władysław Jurgenson. W momencie powołania nowego dowódcy dotychczasowa nazwa uległa zmianie na 12. Eskadrę Lotniczą, wkrótce zaś na 12. Eskadrę Wywiadowczą. Odtąd eskadra prowadziła z powietrza wsparcie działań 14. Dywizji Piechoty Wielkopolskiej, szczególnie w boju pod Szaciłkami, wykonując ataki szturmowe na piechotę wroga, a także współpracując z artylerią. W czasie walki powietrznej został zestrzelony przez stronę sowiecką samolot dowódcy kpt. Władysława Jurgensona. Trafił on do niewoli bolszewickiej i został rozstrzelany, a obowiązki dowódcy 12. Eskadry przejął wówczas por. pil. Witold Rutkowski."
