Publication Black Monday over the Ore Mountains as part of some rewards

Aug 23, 2017

Today I would like to focus on a bonus which is included in some rewards - Benefit (B2), Direct hit (E2) and in fact also Wing Commander (I).

It is our publication Black Monday over the Ore Mountains (or German version Schwarzer Montag über dem Erzgebirge), which I originally wrote in 1994 in occasion of unveiling the Memorial for fallen airmen in Kovarska. During those years it has been translated to German and English, the Czech version had already 6th edition. Completely this publication has been produced in more than 20.000 pieces, which is in current years a good number. For a while we are not upgrading this publication and rather the time I am spending on work on a larger book which should be in ca 600 pages A4 size. But it will be a while before it will be finished. meantime there is this publication which can give you the most important part of view of this event. Your contribution on HitHit is one of those ways how to get this publication.

Me 262 print by Robert Bailey - included in reward H

Aug 21, 2017

Today we wanted to add some details for main part of the reward H - “Fighter Ace”.

It is an unique Aviation Art print on size  51 x 78 cm from Canadian author Robert Bailey. Original description of the artwork: “Dawn on a crisp February morning in 1945 at Brandenburg-Briest, Germany. Walter Schuck returns from a brief test flight in his Me 262 jet to discover that the airstrip is under attack by American fighters. Whilst Me 109's dive in to defend the base, P-51 Mustangs harass Schuck, as P-47 Thunderbolts bomb the hangars.


Limited edition of these prints was donated to the Museum by the author as a way of his help and also as our reward for assistance with some another Bailey´s prints.

Every print is numbered and signed by the author. Signatures of Luftwaffe veterans were added in 2004 during our reunion in Kovarska for the air battle anniversary. Two of German veterans flew the Me 262 with III./Jagdgeschwader 7 during WWII.

If you would like to know more about this artwork, or especailly compare our price to prices of various Aviation Art galleries, we can suggest to google search term „Bailey Dawn Intrusion“.

Lt. Alfred Ambs archieved 7 aerial victories, al lof them flying the Me 262 jet.

His great friend from wartime, Uffz. Hellmut Detjens, also pilot of Me 262 got one confirmed victory. It was on 11th September 1944 as pilot of Bf 109G from JG 4 (so in the air battle dedicated by our Museum).

We are over the 50%

Aug 21, 2017

This update is especially for those who already contributed in our project. Many thanks!!

We are now slightly over 50% of the project deal and only some 12 days left.

Your help is greatly appreciated.  And as you know, it will be „barren“ in case we will not hit the 100% limit and you would get your money back, with no reward... :-(

 Those 50 of you made over 50 percent. And so, I believe, if every one of you would be able to find one friend who will join this project as well, we will make it!

Please, try to help also by this way.... This is already not just our project, it is also yours. So, it is common thing. ;-)

Thank you, Jan Zdiarsky

Tato aktualita je určena především pro ty z vás, kteří jste se již připojili a na projekt přispěli. Bylo vás 50, aktuálně jsme trochu přes 50% celkové částky a zbývá 12 dnů.

Vaší pomoci si opravdu vážíme a bude pro nás potěšením připravit a předat vám vaše odměny.

Jak však víte, vlastně nic – ani prostředky pro projekt, ani odměny pro vás, se podle pravidel nebudou realizovat, pokud nedosáhneme celkové částky. To by bylo škoda...

Když vás 50 dokázalo získat přes 50 procent, trošku zjednodušená matematika potom napoví, že pokud každý z vás dokáže sehnat jednoho přítele, který se připojí, na celkovou částku bychom mohli dosáhnout!

Tak vás chceme požádat i o tuhle pomoc. Už to není jen náš projekt, je i váš. Tak jde o společnou věc. ;-)

Díky,

Honza Zdiarský

We are producing these pendants in a limited amount and those will be available only for contributors on the HitHit project in selected rewards, then as part of the prize in plastic kits modelers competition (which is a part of the whole event) and especially for members of the military history clubs, reenacting the whole day all around with their historical WWII vehicles.

These metal pendants have the exact size and shape of US Army WWII dog-tags and as you may see, this year there will be already third variation. The design is finished and actually is in production.

If you like those from 2015 and 2016, I can say, that few left... :-) We are able to share them with those HitHit contributors who will ask about.
