Graves in the Azores
2011-10-31
The RAF station established here on Oct 8, 1943 as a result of the agreement between Great Britain and Portugal played key role in the Battle of Atlantic.
The aircraft combing the Atlantic for the U-boats taking off from here had to display dual Allied markings to conform with neutrality of Portugal.
Though in use by the Royal Air Force from September 1943, also here are found graves of the Cz airmen. The article " Not Forgotten - Azores" was posted by Tom Dolezal yesterday. Thanks. Open HERE
