Well over two thousand Czech airmen joined the RAF to fight the Germans, and many took part in the Battle of Britain. In this week's Talking Point Jan Velinger looks at the story of the Czech pilots who inspired not only a successful film, but a generation of Czechs that has gradually learned of the pilots' sacrifices and bravery. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/tmavomodrysvet.jpg?timestamp=1591395246 https://english.radio.cz/czech-pilots-raf-8046217 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
