Unknown Czech Pilot
I am trying to put a name to this Czech pilot.
Does anyone have any ideas? I suspect it is 312 Sqn at Speke. The date is December 1940. (PS - Sorry VoyTec, I seem to be following in your shadow on our respective quests!) |

Re: Unknown Czech Pilot
Hi Andy,
your unknown Czechoslovak pilot is Sgt. Vojtěch SMOLÍK (*1914 - +1991) pilot of No. 312 (Czechoslovak) squadron. He finished ww2 like Flight Lieutenant with DFC. Between 1.2.1944- 11.7.1944 he commanded B flight of No. 312 (Czechoslovak) squadron. hope this helps Milan |

Re: Unknown Czech Pilot
Indeed so.
Unfortunately, VoyTech, those of us West of Berlin can neither spell it nor pronounce it!!! :-) |
