Re: Baptism of Fire: The First Combat Experiences of the Royal Hungarian Air Force and Slovak Air Force, March 1939

Thank you, I
about the air war I alone in Poland published two major articles a few years ago.
That's what interested me even if they are in the book about the Hungarians attack on Ukraine Transcarpathian (the Subcarpathian Rus') on March 14, 1939?

According Ukrainians also attacked their planes (?) - battle on a Red Field (Krasnoje Pole) on 15th March. This is just a small episode of fighting the Ukrainians against Hungarian in Transcarpathia.

This is interesting, that among Ukrainians fought with Hungary were Polish citizens (from Galicja) who illegally infiltrated across the border - about 600 (yes 600 Ukrainians Sich memebrs were from Poland, from "Polish" OUN).

In turn, the Hungarians and the Poles worked closely diversionary actions against Czechoslovakia in 1938-1939, mostly in 1938.

BTW: Hungarians had captured about 200 Ukrainians (Polish citisens) in March 1939, later about 170 were handed over to German (to admiral Canaris).

BTW
Small flighy of Czechoslovak 3 S-328 also took part in this war. One S-328 had later landed in Romania.
