The current Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala once said, "General Bock has always fought for democracy, freedom and independence for our country".

Bock was born on February 25, 1923.

On March 15, 1939, Nazi Germany invaded the Czech Republic. At the age of 16, Bock chose to flee his country and fight against the German army in France.

After the Allied forces retreated to Britain, Burke joined the British army without hesitation.

He first served in the 312th Squadron of the Royal Air Force as a technician; in 1944 he transferred to the 310th Squadron of the Royal Air Force as a fighter pilot.

The above-mentioned two well-known fighter squadrons have Czech pilots.

Czech Public Radio interviewed Bock in 2016, talking about the iconic British fighter he was flying at the time. Bock said: "The Spitfire is undoubtedly a legend, an unbelievable plane, a perfect plane." .

Bock has carried out 26 flight missions in total, and received numerous medals in the Czech Republic and the United Kingdom in recognition of his extraordinary contributions.

When Bork's family helped him celebrate his 100th birthday last month, King Charles III of England did not forget to pay tribute and best wishes to him.

On July 21, 2016, the 93-year-old Bock flew a Spitfire for the last time and flew for 20 minutes, fulfilling his long-cherished wish.
