| **"''Fellow racers affectionately refer to Jan as the "Polish Prankster". His pistons are always firing up ways to mess with his pals - whether it's putting a stink bomb in their exhaust systems or attaching a "Buzz me!" banner to their tails. Savvy racers keep this trickster on their radar, so they don't end up as the rudder of his jokes.''"<ref name= MTP> [http://books.disney.com/book/meet-the-planes-fire-rescue-2/ "''Meet the Planes: Fire and Rescue''"].
