Bourgeois in Spain

This pilot flew for the Malraux squadron in Spain, as well as for the Paraguayan air force. He may also have been a pilot in WW1. Does anyone know his first name, and have any details of his career in Paraguay? (I know he was a bootleg pilot for Dillinger in the USA in the early 1930's)

Keith,

In following link (in Spanish) the name of François Bourgeois is mentioned, together with many more names of pilots of this particular squadron: http://www.geocities.com/red_spain/MALRAUX.htm

Re: Bourgeois in Spain

Hi Leendert,

Got the link. Bourgeois was a bomber pilot in Spain but I don't know if he was necessarily a bomber pilot in WW1. I am assuming he flew Potez 25 in Paraguay but frankly the air force was so small I doubt pilots specialised.
