On the night between 29th and 30th of October, 1944, newly inaugurated communists killed a group of pilots on Stratiste, in village Jabuka, near the city of Pancevo. They shot an entire class of pilots. Many of those pilots participated in air force battles against German Luftwaffe over the Belgrade sky, on the 6th of April, 1941. They managed to survive the II world war. Their only sin was that they were members of the war air force of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, they served to the king. Only mistake they made was answering the add of the new communist government. They went to command center thinking that they will fly again and defend their country. Kingdom or republic, it did not matter to them. This monstrous crime, committed by the liberators in the name of people and better life, was hidden for many years. It was a secret people only whispered about. Of course there are no written evidences. But, there are witnesses. Children of the late pilots. Free-minded historians. Pilots. Air force and truth fanatics. They told us one story more, about ideological madness, that was brought on the Balkans, about human monsters and naive people, about man in the politics and patriots, murderers and victims.Written by
