Anna's husband, Tadeusz, brought several printed copies to Warsaw for the World Convention of Polish Airmen, leading to the expansion of the List by adding the place where the airman settled after 1947, as well as the date of death and place of burial. After retirement, Tadeusz Krzystek devoted all his spare time to updating the List. . He finished his work in 2012. After his death in 2013, updating the List was taken on by Piotr Hodyra of the “Fundacja Historyczna Lotnictwa Polskiego” in Warsaw. Note: Polish diacritic letters are used in this document.
