World War I service
At the outbreak of the Great War Peter joined the Austro-Hungarian Army and served on the Eastern Front. In late 1915 he volunteered for the Air Service as an aircraft observer. After finishing training school in late January 1916 he was posted to the Eastern Front unit Flik 14 as an observer. During the next two years of service he received several awards and was promoted to oberleutnant on 1 November 1917.
After brief service with Flik47F he applied for pilot training and was accepted in March 1918. After completing further training as a fighter pilot he was posted to Flik3J at Romagnano in May 1918 where he flew the Albatros D.III fighter. He scored his first and second confirmed victories on July 16 when he downed two Italian Hanriot fighters over Concei. Peter scored his sixth and last confirmed victory on October 7 when he shot down a Sopwith Camel of 66 Squadron, Royal Air Force.
Post-war
After World War I, Peter decided to join the Polish Air Force, encouraged by Stefan Stec, with whom he had served during the war. He fought during the Polish-Ukrainian War and Polish-Soviet War from 1919, flying as a pilot of two-seater reconnaissance machines, in strafing and bombing missions. Between February and March 1920 he commanded the 6th Reconnaissance Escadre, near Ternopil.
After wars, he settled in Poland, working in aerospace industry, especially in a field of engine designing.
