Every Aircraft Czech Pilots Flew in Exile | 1939-1945

Описание: Nearly 2,000 Czech airmen escaped German occupation and fought on every Allied front for six years. 546 never came home. Czech squadrons completed over 10,985 RAF sorties, their 311 Bomber Squadron lost 246 men over Germany, and their Eastern Front regiment flew Soviet La-7s during the liberation of their own homeland. Karel Kuttelwascher became the RAF's top night ace with 15 victories — flying alone in the dark over occupied France.

Discover every aircraft flown by Czech exile pilots from 1939 to 1945, covering four countries, six aircraft types in France, eight Spitfire and Hurricane variants in the RAF, and four Soviet types on the Eastern Front. Twenty aircraft, one nation's six-year fight to return home.
