wrote at 09. 02. 2021, 15:55: Thank you Ken for your nice words! Teaching a history is very important to let the younger generations know the price of today's freedom. We can learn only from history.
wrote at 07. 11. 2020, 04:33: Thank you for the work in putting up this site. This is my first visit here and I look forward to studying this site to add to my knowledge of WW II and the people who sacrificed so much. My Wife and I collect WW II items and firearms, and when I teach safety classes for firearms I always bring some to the range. I love to teach people about what our parents and grandparents faced. Thank you again
wrote at 16. 07. 2020, 10:28: Greetings Alex and thank you for your entry. Do you know Jim Downs' book "USS Tragedy In Slovakia"? It describes the whole OSS mission led by Lt. Holt Green. I got this book in both (English and Slovak) versions from Jim as I was in touch with him for years.

My mother's brother was in a plane I believe was called " Lovely Ladies" when it went down in the White Carpathians on 8-29 in 1944 I think. His name was Frank (Francis) Balcerzak from Toledo, Ohio. Although this happened before I was born, my family talked about him often throughout my life. Today I saw pictures of what I was told was his plane crash. I'm glad my mom never saw that. It was pretty moving for me to see, and I never met him.
Thank you.

Byl jsem na onom místě s kamarádem, který má 85 roků, za války byl u řádových sester a viděl dopad letadla. Máme i nějaké součástky, jako kousky konstrukce, holendry, čerpadlo na stavění vrtulových listů, vystřelenou nábojnici s kouskem pásu...atd. Moc fandím vašemu počínání !! S pozdravem J.Vašek
wrote at 25. 05. 2018, 17:22: Thank you so much for you entry Carl! Your uncle flew, as a co-pilot, with B-24H "Rough Cobb" on that day. This machine went down due to the mechanical failure. 9 airmen were captured and Adrew Solock, a tail gunner, was KIA. Btw, do you know this book? https://books.google.cz/books?id=z4cwCgAAQBAJ&pg=PA188&lpg=PA188&dq=b-24+rough+cobb&source=bl&ots=9aXI8_7wXK&sig=7yRwm94OuOA2aCsmKMz98t2y1s4&hl=cs&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj_mZTBlKHbAhWRy6QKHeJNBkEQ6AEIaTAM#v=onepage&q=b-24%20rough%20cobb&f=false

wrote at 20. 11. 2017, 08:32: Rich, thank you for your input. When did you meet the mentioned crew member? Bill Garland (1st pilot) and Leo Zupan (co-pilot) visited Slavicin in 1994 and they visited also their machine crash site back then. After that they never showed up again. In April 2016 Bill Garland´s son Gary visited us and we showed him his dad´s crash site. This reminded me that I haven´t added pics from this visit to our web yet. Will do it soon.
The story of the mentioned machine is here (only in Czech so far)

wrote at 19. 11. 2017, 16:13: Thank you so much for keeping these memories alive. I lived in Novy Jicin for about four years and recall attending a memorial for a downed US bomber about 20-30km away. It was very moving and included a member of the crew which went down.
wrote at 06. 11. 2016, 00:24: Thank you very much Michael for contacting us this way! One of the purposes of this web is to show the families of those US flyboys that we haven´t forgotten their personal sacrifice. I´m glad you found this web and time to write us. Let´s keep in touch, I sent you 2 e-mails today.

My father told me briefly that his brother was a bombardier, and his aircraft had been lost in battle, but he never seemed to have details when I asked him. Now I know. Thank you so much!

For sure, and you know it, the door to our country for you and your family will always be open.

It was my true privilege to participate in the August 2014 remembrance events while serving as the commander of the 20th Bomb Squadron. And I can't wait to bring my wife and kids back to the beautiful Czech Republic.

wrote at 05. 11. 2014, 15:54: Děkujeme za pochvalu! Co se názvů jednotek týče, časem je v plánu i anglická verze textů, prvně ale musíme na stránky dostat texty české. V zimě by měl být čas na další doplnění stránek. A pak postupně začneme dělat i na překladech či vkládání anglických textů. Vše je o volném čase...
Zatím aspoň takto:
FIGHTER WING/GROUP/SQUADRON - stíhací křídlo/skupina/peruť (letka)
BOMBARDMENT WING/GROUP/SQUADRON - bombardovací křídlo/skupina/peruť (letka)
Např. 5 BW - 5. bombardovací křídlo, 2 BG - 2. bombardovací skupina, 20 BS - 20. bombardovací peruť (letka), 31 FG - 31. stíhací skupina, 308 FG - 308. stíhací peruť (letka)
