He meets Item 1 of  having been awarded the Virtuti Militari, Poland's highest military honour (albeit only at the lowest grade).

Comment: He certainly does meet #1 "Were awarded their nation's highest award for valour, or were awarded their nation's second-highest award for valour (such as the Navy Cross) multiple times". He was awarded awarded the Virtuti Militari, the highest military decoration of his country, which is explicitly named in Template:Highest gallantry awards, as well as the Cross of Valour (Poland) four times. (I would be interested to know why those who say he does not meet  discount the Virtuti Militari.) As well as sources in Polish, a Google Books search shows two books in English, ''Polish Spitfire Aces'', by Wojtek Matusiak https://books.google.com.au/books?id=nUOVCwAAQBAJ&pg=PA17&dq=%22Wac%C5%82aw+%C5%81apkowski%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjhj-iX-NXmAhUQIbcAHciKChMQ6AEIKTAA#v=onepage&q=%22Wac%C5%82aw%20%C5%81apkowski%22&f=false and ''Polish Aces of World War 2'', by Robert Gretzyngier https://books.google.com.au/books?id=HlSICwAAQBAJ&pg=PT163&dq=%22Wac%C5%82aw+%C5%81apkowski%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjhj-iX-NXmAhUQIbcAHciKChMQ6AEIMTAB#v=onepage&q=%22Wac%C5%82aw%20%C5%81apkowski%22&f=false, which have information about him. Per , the state of sourcing in an article is not a reason to delete
