As a protest again the Treaty of Trianon (1920), responsible for the loss of 2/3's of Hungary's territory, a group of troubled Hungarians, many of them US residents, decided to finance a protest flight for the sake of calling attention to that "injustice." Flying a Lockheed Sirius plane, two Hungarian aviators,  G. Endresz and  S. Magyar, flew from Newfoundland to Hungary in some 26 hours during June 15-16, 1931, a record time then. The plane was named "Justice for Hungary," reflective of a Hungarian point of view leading country into WW2 on the Axis side.

Showing the Hungarian tail markings of the later war years, a lone Stuka tank-buster plane is shown in flight on the Eastern front, one of the few available to the RHAF. Some of these Magyar-insignia planes served in the Battle of Kursk, 1943.

During the 1930’s, a group of young Hungarians is shown here in front of a visual aid, holding a protest against the Treaty of Trianon imposed in 1920.  Because of it,  the country lost 2/3 of its territory, to which the officially encouraged response became “Nem, nem, soha!” or “No, no, never!” Resentment  about this so-called dismemberment eventually encouraged Hungary to join the side of Italy and Germany in the unfolding conflict of WW2.
