A red plane is jutting into the blue sky from a black globe. The Moravian Flying Club, appearing in memory of the 10th anniversary of General Stefanik's death, was head-lining at this "Flying Day" airshow, a yearly event in Brno. As the exhibition was only for one day, the eye-catching bold colors and simple, almost constructivist design, would not have been enjoyed for long on the streets of Czechoslovakia's second largest city.
