This work would not have been feasible without the co-operation of Maureen Bozdch who give me access to her husbands papers, tapes and manuscript. I am most appreciative of her support and her patience with my frequent questions. Arnot Polak, Secretary of the Free Czechoslovak Air Force Association, was a key link throughout the research with respondents both in the UK and the Czech Republic and I gratefully acknowledge his help. I am also indebted to Jaroslav Bernek of the Military History Institute in Prague for writing the Foreword to this book.
Interviews played a part in the research and my thanks are extended to: Magdalena Jarvis, Robert Bozdch, Jan Bozdch, Jii Malik, Bunty Fialka, Iveta Irvingov, Arnot Polak, Pamela Schutzmann and Tom Oddie for giving me their time and permission to use copyright material. I also wish to thank Pavel Vanata for his interest and excellent help; and Zdenk Hurt, author of Czechs in the RAF , for his willingness to share information from his own research.
I would like to thank Stephanie Howell, Local Studies Department Cardiff Central Library; Edwina Burridge, Reference Librarian Inverness Library and her colleague Sue Skelton; Penny Ritchie Calder, Head of Exhibitions, and Emma Crocker, Curator Photographic Archive Imperial War Museum; Abbey Fox for research in the USA; and staff of the Air Historical Branch (RAF). I also want to include my thanks to Donnie Macleod for recollections of No. 311 Squadron in Tain, Richard Beith for written material and Alan Brown for early guidance; and I want to record my thanks to Willie McKechnie and his colleagues at the Photographic Unit of the University of Glasgow, and to Neil Planner who transferred 1950s inch tapes to cassette.
I specially want to thank Ilona Klemm, Department of Slavonic Studies at the University of Glasgow for translations from the Czech.
