Re: Czech in RAF
Hi,
the full names of the flyers are F/Lt Jiří Kučera and F/Lt Oldřich Filip. I do not know what their middle initials stand for. In todays Czech society the middle names are very rarely used and it was very similar 60 years ago (however, Kučera is often listed with the middle initial in literature ).
Kučera served as a fighter pilot before being posted to 544.Sq. and took part in the battles over France and Britain with claims for 5 destroyed and 2+1 shared damaged. He had logged 378 operational hours as a fighter.
Filip had previously served with 311.Sq. as a navigator and logged 56,05 operational hours before being posted to 544.Sq.
Greetings
Jan
