The Czechoslovak AF during the World War II Exhibits

Being interested in our exhibition, Col. George Sekanina has been our firm friend for nearly a decade. He had been in contact with the famous fighter ace Frantisek Perina and his wife Anna even before their returning to the homeland from the exile in 1993. When the couple paid the visit the town of Prerov nearby to take part in the No 15 USAAF veterans as well as the former CO of No 300 Jagdgruppe reunion on October 29, 2003, Mr. Sekanina pulled the strings and succeeded in bringing the Perinas to the Plumlov Chateau on the next day. Being shown a flight instructor Trunda by our Secretary, A/Com Ret Frantisek Perina was even able to recognize him. The Wings of Victory Exhibition consists of 709 snaps on 51 panels and the very first of them shows the Czechoslovak Flight Aerobats including Sgt Perina trained for the Zuerich Flight Meeting in the 1937 year.
I was helped by Mr Perina with identification of one of them - of S/Ldr Alexander Hess  - seven years ago. Thanks a lot once more.
