Anotace:
The study is concerned with a biography of Rudolf Bolfík, former Czechoslovak air force engineer and gendarme cadet. Bolfík deserted from the gendarme school and attempted to leave for civil-war torn Spain. He succeeded at his third attempt and reached Spain in 1938, enlisting in the battalion Divisionario. After the breakdown of the Spanish front and a short term internation in France he enlisted with the Czechoslovak army in exile in France, was evacuated to Britain from collapsing France, and joined the RAF Squadron no. 311, as a gunner. Bolfík died on return from his fourth sortie when his bomber had an accident over the North Sea.
