On 22.09.1945, Czechoslovak pilots of № 312 Fighter Squadron RAF landed in Plana near Ceske Budejovice. Thousands of people came to welcome their heroes. Yet, there was a cruel twist of irony awaiting them. Communists took over the control over Czechoslovakia in 1948 and soon, these admirable fighters were stalked, hunted and punished by the uprising communist evil.
This must neither be forgotten nor forgiven. Ever.
The video displays a formation flight from 22.09.2020 over the memorial at the airport in Plana to honor the Czechoslovak exile pilots. 75 years after their return.
