Difficult Beginnings of the 311th Squadron through the Perspective of the Daily Commands and the War Diary

Summary/Abstract: The main focus of the work is to describe the various problems which the Czechoslovaks who were in the 311th squadron had in the initial period of the existence of the squadron throught the daily commands and the war diary. Except for demanding training, the Czechslovaks had to deal with the lack of English language knowledge, which caused troubles in overtrating to Wellingtons and the declaration of having the 311th squadron ready for combat. Another problems emerged during the everyday service and life at the squadron. It took some time to get used to new service rules of RAF. The problems initially emerged in the observance of appearance and cleanness of quarters in accordance with the British concept. It took a long time for them to darken properly and to salute the commissioned officers. The Czechoslovaks had problems with leaves of absence as well. Not all the problems were caused by the Czechoslovaks. Part of the 311th squadron, which moved to East Wretham, had to deal with accommodation problems. Through several bigger or smaller problems, the 311th squadron was made ready for combat and it was active until the end of the war.
