Polish Air Force origins

For some time I have been researching the escadrilles that the French sent to Poland after the war. Mostly manned by French personnel they were forbidden to fight against the Bolsheviks but did a valuable job of training Polish pilots to take over. Below is a list of the 4 Polish Squadrons that trace their liniage back to the former French Escadrilles:

16th Observation Squadron- Formerly BR 39 (originally a mixture of Polish and French Pilots from France)

17th Observation Squadron- Formerly BR 59 (All French personnel)

18th Observation Squadron- Formerly SAL 580 (All French personnel)

19th Fighter Squadron- Formerly SPA 162 (originally a mixture of Polish and French Pilots from France)

I am wondering if anyone has a roster of the personnel from BR 39 and SPA 162 because I am interested in how many Poles serving with these French units switched over to the Polish Air Force.

Thanks
