Języki publikacji
Abstrakty
In the introduction of the published material, the author states that the Slovak Air force, since its origin in March 1939 until its factual end in September 1944 when it lost all the aircrafts with combat value, had been fighting with the issue of morally obsolete aircraft fleet. The efforts of its representatives to modernize the Slovak Air Force fleet by purchasing the modern military aircrafts came across negative opinions of the German Air Force Command in almost all attempts. An exception in this effort to modernize the Slovak Air Force was the purchase of modern German twin-engine spotter planes, Focke Wulf Fw 189A-2. Based on the yet unpublished archival documents deposited in the Military Historical Archive Bratislava, the author introduces the topic of purchase and use of this Wehrmacht’s “Flying Eye” which were popular among pilots in the Slovak Air Force.
