Vlastislav Bříza wrote that a Spitfire flew over Prague again, which he claimed served in the 312th Czechoslovak Fighter Squadron of the RAF. He described the aircraft as a symbol of victory over Nazism and mentioned that it helped achieve air superiority, protected Allied bombers, and accompanied operations over occupied Europe. According to Bříza, the Spitfire also reminded him of the Czechoslovak resistance and the pilots who left for abroad after Munich and fought for the freedom of their homeland. He stated that the year 1938 did not show that Czechs could not fight, but that they did not receive orders at that time. He described the return of the aircraft as more than just an aviation event, linking it to national pride. #Spitfire #československo #historie (translated)
