In these fights a cschechosl, season / Czech, expressed yesterday 3 Me l09, Mello and a Dornier shot down. These performances - already a few days ago we were able to report l6 shots - are all the bigger, because our čsl. season only for 1 5 days in the air fights participated. All Czechs will hear this victory news with joy. Only the thought that we have also lost one of the čsl. pilots in these swamps is clouding our joy.

"It would be pointless to describe the details of our flight, because it was very obvious to find some suitable places for flight in the borders of our homeland guarded by Gestapo and SS, Vir could do so on the l5. Unfortunately, because of bad weather, we did not take the flight with our machines, and it seems to us deeply that vir had to leave all our machines to the Nazis at that time. Many managed to escape, but also many of wns did not get through and probably no longer live. We then took part in the heavy fighting in France and shot down over loo German machines there.

Now we flew into the new wonderful British machines for some time and could be used for a few days.

A lieutenant has the Cross of the Legion d Honneur, the Cross with the Palm and other Orders have been forgiven. We have already left home via one and have no news of our loved ones at home. Vir -2-
