Franjo Kluz Franjo Kluz ( September 19 , 1913 – September 14 , 1944 ) was a Yugoslav pilot from Bosnia and a People ' s Hero of Yugoslavia . He is best known as one of the founders of the Partisan air force , and served as an officer in No . 352 Squadron RAF . Early life and career . Franjo Kluz was born in Jošik , near Bosanska Dubica . In 1931 he graduated from the Yugoslav reserve officers school as a sergeant - pilot . After the Axis invasion and establishment of Independent State of Croatia in 1941 he was drafted into the Air Force of the Independent State of Croatia and was stationed in Banja Luka . In the second half of May 1942 , like Rudi Čajavec before him , he defected to the Partisans with his Potez 25 aircraft . From the improvised airfield near Prijedor he carried out a number of sorties against Axis forces , the most notable being the attack on an Ustaša column near Orahovo on June 4 . His plane was destroyed by hostile fire on July 6 . He then became a member of the Partisan command for Bosanska Krajina region . As a member of the command staff , he was required to be a Party member and on August 14 , 1942 he was accepted as a member of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia . On October 14 Kluz became the station commander of the First Air Base of the Yugoslav National Liberation Army ( YNLA ) in Livno .

Kluz was commissioned as a Pilot Officer in the RAFVR , with the service number 178171 . Kluz became a member of the 1st Air Squadron of YNLA ( Prva eskadrila , NOVJ ) , otherwise known as No . 352 Squadron RAF . On September 14 , 1944 , he was shot down in his Spitfire and killed ( unfortunately CWGC misspells his first name ) by German AAA over Omiš . For his wartime service , Franjo Kluz was posthumously awarded the Order of a People ' s Hero of Yugoslavia . Legacy . His unusual distinction of being ' an officer and a gentleman ' in His Britannic Majesty ' s Royal Air Force whilst simultaneously being a member of the proletariat ' s Communist Party is , in reality , unlikely to be unique , but there will certainly be very few other RAF officers who have become a national Hero , whether of Yugoslavia , or any other country . A clothing factory in Belgrade was named in his honour , as was a printing company in Omiš , a title it holds to this day . An aero club in Zemun is also named in his honour . Streets in Skopje and in Novi Sad are also named after Kluz .

Puxian Wannu Púxiān Wànnú ( ) was a Jurchen warlord who established the short - lived kingdom of Eastern Xia in 13th century China . He originally served the dying Jin Dynasty under pressure from the Mongol Empire . While the Mongols under Genghis Khan invaded Jin , a Khitan chief Yelü Liuge ( 耶律留哥 ) revolted against the dynasty in Liaodong in 1211 and made contact with the Mongol Empire in the next year . In 1214 Jin dispatched Puxian Wannu to Liaodong , but he was defeated around Kaiyuan . While Mukhali of the Mongol Empire invaded Northern China , Puxian Wannu rebelled against Jin and founded the Dazhen ( 大眞 ) kingdom in Dongjing ( Liaoyang ) in 1215 . He adopted the title of Tianwang ( 天王 lit . " Heavenly King " ) and named his era Tiantai ( 天泰 ) . As a result of an internal strife in the so - called bogus Liao ( 为辽国 / 偽遼國 ) , Yelü Liuge was expelled and sought support from Genghis . The Khitans got a counterattack from Jin and fled to Goryeo without permission . Puxian Wannu capitulated to Mukhali ' s army and sent his son Tege ( 帖哥 / 鐵哥 " Tiěgē " ) as a hostage in 1216 . However , he revolted soon after that and fled to an island while the Mongol army invaded Liaoxi and Liaodong . In 1217 he moved from Dongjing to the Tumen River basin possibly to avoid both Mongol and Jin oppressions . He again named his kingdom Dongxia ( 东夏 / 東夏 ) , put the capital around Yanji and called it Nanjing ( 南京 " literally : southern capital " ) . His domain spread north to Laoyeling mountains , south to Hamgyŏngnamdo , North Korea , east to the Sea of Japan and west to the Zhangguangcailing mountains . That covers borderlands of China , Russia and North Korea . The name of the kingdom is controversial . Chinese documents call it Dongxia ( 东夏 / 東夏 ) but Goryeo almost always called it Dongzhen ( 東眞 ) . Yanai Wataru insisted that 夏 ( " Xià " ) was a misinterpretation of 眞 ( " Zhèn " ) . In the meanwhile Ikeuchi Hiroshi claimed that Dongzhen was an abbreviated form of Dong Nüzhen 东女眞 / 東女眞 ( " Eastern Jurchen " ) and was just an alias . He seems to have submitted to the Mongol Empire again . In 1218 the Mongol and Dongxia armies jointly intruded to Goryeo to subdue the Khitan remnants . Goryeo also joineČd the campaign and the Khitans were exterminated . The Mongol army úretreated after establishing the " sibling " relationship with Goryeo . Mongol officers with Dongxia delegates came to Goryeo to exact tribute . In 1222 Puxian Wannu revolted to the Mongol Empire yet again while Genghis Khan made an expedition toward the west . Since Goryeo rejected his demand for opening of trading posts on the border , he invaded Goryeo many times . In 1233 Ögedei ' s son Güyük attacked Dongxia with large force and captured Puxian Wannu . The Jin Dynasty was overthrown in the next year .
