into contact with Czech researchers living in
his former homeland. He subsequently visited
his native town of Vejprty and the nearby
Kovářská several times, especially the local
air battle museum, which commemorates him
in its exhibition. Viktor Petermann died in 2001
in Freiberg.
In the preparation of this article, I received
assistance from Mr. Ota Jírovec, Andrey
Kuznetsov, Ivan Lavrinenko, Mansur Mustafin,
and Jan Zdiarský. After I published an article
about "Black 8" and Viktor Petermann in the
magazine REVI in 1996, I connected with the
now-deceased Mr. Petermann through my
friend Jaroslav Hradec.
I would like to express my gratitude to all
of them.
