| Very cool looking series, Clave. With the rapid progression of aviation technology in WWII, will that period be more than 1 series? btw, thanks for posting these!  |

At the time when Slovak and Hungarian fighters were doghfighting each other (in March 1939), Slovak national insignia was different then you have depicted. In fact, blue cross with red circle insignia was only introduced on 15th October 1940. Also, yellow bands (on fuselage and lower wingtips) were only introduced in 1941 with participation of Slovak Air Arms in Operation "Barbarossa". Markings used at the time of war with Hungary in spring 1939 were as shown in attachment:

I would have to check with some of my books for details, but I don't think that there was many dog fights during this conflict. Both air forces focused mainly on ground support and recconaisance work. Anyway, conflict only lasted for very short time.
