This report records the aircraft types used by the Combined Squadron. The largest part of this squadron consisted of aircraft, which were deployed before the beginning of the uprising at the air base Tri Duby. The data are processed according to a study by Ján Stanislav. The study Combined Squadron in the SNP was published in the book Slovak Air Force 3. If anyone has information about other machines that may have been part of the Combined Squadron, please add them. In this overview, I present first the type of aircraft, then its purpose (for orientation of how many machines of the squadron were designed floods for combat deployment. Later, courier and observation machines were rebuilt in field conditions for "combat" machines). The last data is the number of pieces.

The most successful fighters of the Combined Squadron were Rudolf Božík and František Cyprich with 2.5 kills each. It is worth mentioning Cyprich's downing of the Hungarian Ju-52, who shot down on the "five hundred", thus recording the last verified victory on a biplane with a fixed landing gear. Another interesting thing is the air battle recorded between Š-328 with the crew Žálik-Beznák and the German reconnaissance Fw 189, in which the crew of the Slovak "cow" finally celebrated success. The literature differs in its interpretation of whether it was a victory, a probable victory, or damage to a German machine. Other successes I will try to find the combined squadron, I will not put it in my head now.

Rostislav Kazanský was seriously injured on September 2, 1944 during an operational flight towards Zlaté Moravce when the attacking aircraft was piloted by rtm. Stossel was hit by retaliatory fire from the German column. The shooting hit R. Kazansky on the right side of his head, hit his brain and flew out. Rostislav Kazanský survived a serious injury after several operations, due to the seriousness of the injury he could not be transported to the USSR. He was captured in an ambulance train hospital after the defeat of the uprising. The injury left him with permanent consequences in the form of paralysis of half of his body. The "reward" was the trafficking and arrogance of the communist regime, which in 1952 refused him timely medical help to restore the wounded war. Rostislav Kazanský died 2.9. 1952 as captain of the Czechoslovak Air Force in mem.
