After World War II, two stone blocks from the pedestal, including one with the traces of the Kotwica, were moved to the Stefan Batory Liceum in Warsaw, and in 1981 to the Museum of Wola.

[6] A fragment of the plinth was also used for the RAF Pilots Memorial in Wola[7] and the Grenadier Monument in Grenadierow Street in Grochow.

The destroyed monument was reconstructed by Alfred Jesion using Wittig's original designs following its destruction in World War II.

The 6 meter bronze cast statue, weighing 5 tonnes, was made by Gliwickie Zakłady Urządzeń Technicznych.

On the front face of the 9 meter tall Silesian granite pedestal is a carving of a Polish Air Force checkerboard.
