Thing is why would a 1930s hurricane be of value they got hold of several after the fall of France. Belgium had full. Licence production rights and held manufacturers plans. Not exactly secret was it?
Czeckoslovak not Czech . There were also Slovak pilots in the RAF. Many people in the 1st Czeckoslovakian Republic were German speakers , and even Prague was a majority German speaking City at one time.
I have never heard of that story before. It makes that story even more interesting to learn about.
Fascinating story as I used to live not far from RAF Usworth (pronounced ‘Uzzworth’ not ‘Yousworth’) which is now the Nissan site. RAF Ouston (pronounced ‘Ooston’) is now Albermarle Barracks with the airfield still intact and being visible when flying into Newcastle Airport (the site of former RAF Woolsington).
He married a British woman and then abandoned her.
I was reading a Czech comic about airmen fleeing Czechia to fight Nazis from France and later from Britain. There’s a scene where two Luftwaffe members talk about a Polish ship headed to France, with Czech airmen on board. One Nazi asks the other how does he know. The other answers “We have our people amongst them.” That line finally makes sense!
It's so comforting to have UA-cam protect our delicate sensibilities by blotting out or covering over the swastikas. I don't know if I could handle it if they didn't. Thank you, UA-cam...really. I feel so protected.
The more I think about it I suspect he had been turned by MI6 into a double agent. The lost at sea cover story and the improbability of flying direct that must have needed an unaccounted for fuel stop somewhere in England. Crash landing in Belgium was probably a navigation error and his intended ditch site would have almost certainly been in Germany. If not planned by the Germans, but by the British, the ditching would be preferable to being attacked attempting to land on a luftwaffe field. Also ditching would have meant being found by German civilians who would have turned him over to the German authorities. Unfortunately he landed in Belgium and instead was aided by Belgium civilians which complicated the issue and lead to unintended victims. Perhaps he had no choice but to give them up as he was trying to convince his German captors that he was a German agent. This just leaves his post war trial and execution by the Czechs. If he was indeed a British double agent, why didn’t the British intervene on his behalf? Perhaps it was more expedient that British secrets went to the grave with him. That could explain why his file is still sealed. Always remember perfidious Albion. The British did questionable things, especially with the RAF. The case of the bombing of the prison in Amiens and the raid on the Shelhaus in Copenhagen come to mind.
can I get little youtube decals to put on 1/72 german planes? Also its a single stage two speed supercharger.
One thing I'd like to correct - Chamberlain wasn't a fool, and could see Hitler was a loon, arming up for the next war. Chamberlain came back waving that paper for public consumption, but behind the scenes he was desperately trying to get UK fighter and arms production up ready for the forthcoming conflict.
I never realised there was active spies in Britain (just ones under British control such as Garbo) at the time , let alone a pilot.
I knew about this story, but only that it happened and a Czech pilot defected in 41.
I hope that you do a follow up video in 2030 when his files are opened up to the public.
Great story, thank you for sharing this one with us.
I finally get why you specify his want to be a Airline Pilot, Tech skills required to manage airplane over distance to save company fuel costs, where perfect knowledge to achieve his flight,
Betraying the local civilians who helped after he landed... may he burn in hell.
This deserves a movie, what a story!
Very interesting story! Thank you!
An amazing story, one that most of us would never know! You could write an amazing book, I'd love to read it
