Aquila Polonica was originally founded in 2005 by Terry Tegnazian and Stefan Mucha, who first shared their mutual interests in Poland’s largely unknown role in World War II via the internet before meeting and deciding to form a publishing company. Both were experienced professionals in their respective fields before starting the company.

Working together, they brought a wide spectrum of perspectives, knowledge, skills and contacts to the successful launch of Aquila Polonica.

In 2013 through early 2014, Stefan transitioned out of Aquila Polonica to pursue other endeavors.
