Emil Boček (25 February 1923 – 25 March 2023) was a Czech World War II veteran and the last surviving Czechoslovak RAF pilot.

In late 1939, following the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia, Boček escaped the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, joining the Czechoslovak foreign army in France.

After the French surrendered, he was evacuated to Great Britain, where, in September 1940, he graduated from the Aircraft Mechanics Course and was accepted as one of the youngest members of the RAF.

[5] Boček owned a car repair shop in Brno, which in February 1948 he had to "voluntarily" nationalize and hand over to Mototechna [cs], which then became his employer.

[1] On March 23, 1996, he briefly met Queen Elizabeth II during her four-hour visit to Brno[6] accompanied by the President of the Czech Republic, Václav Havel.

[3] On October 28, 2010, President Václav Klaus awarded him the Order of the White Lion, III Class, due to his "extraordinary merit for the defence and security of the state and outstanding combat activity".

[15] On September 19, 2019, Kurt Taussig [cs] died, making Emil Boček the last surviving Czechoslovak pilot in the RAF during World War II.
