Military Aviation Art
June
3rd., 1942. Flight Lieutenant F. Perina of 312 Squadron (Czechoslovak)
R.A.F., adds two victories to his score of Focke Wulf 190's over
Cherbourg, France. This large aerial batte occurred as the Czech Spitfires
were escorting Boston
Bombers on a raid to attack the docks. Suddenly, 25 Luftwaffe fighters
appeared out of the sun!
These are Czech
airmen who escaped to England when the Germans invaded their country. Many
of them fought in the Battle of France and the Battle of Britain. Some of
the German signatures are also Battle of Britain veterans! Some of these
Czech and German signatures are aces. These
prints were signed last week with the artist in Prague, Czech Republic,
and Kovarska Aviation Museum, Czech Republic.
