Both pictures are from my grandfather who died recently. He was pilot of Czechoslovakian Air Force.
First picture shows sickle & hammer made out of czech Aero C3A military transport planes(Aero C3A is in fact german Siebel Si-204, but czechs had license for building these planes after WW2)
Picture was taken on a military parade(or maybe 1.May(labour day)?) in Prague in mid 50's.
