I do not think so Larry - everything was officially "CZECHOSLOVAK" - government, ministry of defence, army, airforce with the RAF and also there were quite a lot of Slovaks with the No. 311 Sq.

Larry,

I have to support Pavel´s comments - if there was sometimes written "Czech" instead of official "Czechoslovak" in the RAF documents, it was rather caused by a general tendency of English language to shorten the words than by any political reasons. After all, many books written in English e.g. use the term Czech AF instead of correct Czechoslovak even when referring to post-war air force.
