(1916-1942)
Royal Hungarian Air Force - warrant officer
Not long ago, I acquired some old WW2
photographs from a collector in Hungary. Amongst the many photographs, there
were three photographs together with a business card, that belonged to a warrant
officer from the Royal Hungarian Air Force. His name was Győző Szegedi, and it
was also written on the back of the small photographs as well.
Since I always try to research every
photograph, I looked in some on-line Hungarian military registers available to
the public.
After a search at http://www.hadisir.hu/ , the
Hungarian search engine for known war-graves and causalities, I found the name
of the warrant officer. He had died in an air plane accident on the 24th of June
in 1942. The air plane that Győző Szegedi flew had gotten
an engine failure and went down near Újpest outside of Budapest and crashed in
the Danube river were Győző Szegedi drowned. Another brilliant military career that unfortunately ended way too soon...

The text stamped over the page says "Not a war causality"
