Daniel Horvath, son of Gabor Horvath, is an aviation enthusiast currently finishing his MBA specializing in data analytics. He shares in his father’s fascination of aviation and has partaken in warplane recovery research, discovering the crash site of a German Bf 109 located between the Lakes Balaton and Velence in 2016. Joining forces with his father he has contributed to this work not only through his research but also in the book’s digital art.
Gabor Horvath’s interest in aviation history spans several decades, particularly for Second World War aviation history over Hungary, eventually propelling him to volunteer as off-site database administrator and researcher for the Hungarian Szolnok Aircraft Museum (RepTár). Gabor is an I.T. professional working in Canada’s education sector. He has been instrumental in organizing international warplane wreck-recovery projects both in Hungary and in Russia and published his first book titled Bostonok a Magyar Égen és Földben 1944-1945 (Bostons in the Hungarian Sky and Soil 1944-1945) in 2013. His specialized research area is the Soviet Air Force over Hungary during WWII.
