Representatives of the Army of the Czech Republic, NATO and RAF remembered at Klárov the 100th anniversary of the aviation
For several years in a row, an event commemorating the day when our fighters landed in Prague at the Ruzyně airport in 1945 is organized in Prague on the 14th August. They arrived after a several-day journey from England where they helped to win the victory over the fascist and Nazi evils in a heavy air combat where they were fighting alongside their British, Polish, Canadian, American and other mates and brought freedom back to our country.
Our airmen wanted to arrive in Prague in May, but unfortunately they were not allowed to do so and could not return to the liberated country until the August. Nevertheless, they could at least come back in a new type of Spitfire, the aircrafts that were flown in our country for three years before they were sold to Israel. This year’s event took place in Malá Strana, Prague, near the Winged Lion Memorial. In addition to many special guests and war veterans, the Czech Spitfire Club supported by PROMEDICA PRAHA GROUP, a.s. with the Supermarine Spitfire model took participated there and helped to create a dignified air for this piety event.
