I was very keen on teaching the Germans a lesson, says Tomáš Lom, one of few surviving Czech RAF vets

Tomáš Lom is one of the very few surviving Czechoslovaks who served in
Britain’s RAF during World War II. Born Tomáš Löwenstein into a Jewish
family in Prague, he signed up in London the moment he turned 18 and ended
up serving as a wireless operator in the Bahamas in the latter period of
the conflict.
