| Description: |
Talks about the life of a Czech airman who escapes from the Nazi invasion, fights with the French and finally arrives in Britain to fly as an air-gunner with the RAF during WWII. The unique part of this is that during this time he was inseparable from his dog, an animal that became famous and was awarded a dog equivalent to the VC. |
| Synopsis: |
Freedom in the Air is the inspiring story of a Czech airman, Vaclav Robert Bozdech, and the Alsatian dog, Antis, that flew with him in Bomber Command during WWII. Field Marshall Wavell later pinned the ribbon of the PDSA's Dickin Medal, the animals' Victoria Cross, to Antis' collar for courage and outstanding service. The Czechoslovakian 'Radio Praha' have recently interviewed Hamish Ross about his book 'Freedom in the Air' published in 2007.
