A Race to Freedom-The Mira Slovak Story
Mira Slovak was born in Czechoslovakia and endured both the Nazi occupation and the brutal Russian liberation. He joined the Czech Air force, rising to Captain by the age of 21. When he could no longer tolerate life under the Communists, he hijacked an airliner and flew across the Iron Curtain to freedom. He went to work for the CIA and was eventually sent to the US and given a job as Bill Boeing, Jr’s personal pilot. When Boeing began racing powerboats in the late 1950s, Mira was his driver. During his racing career, he won many races and two national championships. He met Presidents and dated movie starlets. After a serious boating accident, Slovak switched to racing airplanes where he won another national championship. When he retired from racing he became a stunt pilot and public speaker who talked eloquently about the value of freedom and how we should value it above everything else. He outlasted Communism and when it collapsed in 1990 he returned to his home, only to realize that his true home was, and always would, be the United States.
