[1] It is dedicated to the Czechoslovak airmen who served in the Royal Air Force (RAF) during World War II and who achieved acclaim for their contribution to the Battle of Britain.

The plinth riveted side coverings replicate the fuselage surface of aircraft of the day and since 2018 bear the names of all the Czechoslovaks who served with the Royal Air Force during the second world war.

It was unveiled by the right honourable Sir Nicholas Soames MP on 17 June 2014 as a gift to the Czech and Slovak peoples from the British community living and working in Czechia and Slovakia.

The origins of the monument are credited to Mr. Euan Edworthy, who has lived in the Czech Republic for many years and whose father served in the Royal Air Force and Colonel Andrew Shepherd, UK Defence Attache.

Immediately following unveiling of the memorial a legendary aircraft Spitfire, in the livery of Squadron Leader Otto Smik DFC, made a flypast over Prague.
