Re: portrait of Georges M. Valentin

Hello,

thank you for your response.
Stef is true, Valentin was all war pilot with GC II/7. In battle of France he won 8 victories, in November 1940 shot down Blenheim of RAF and in autumn 1943 JU 88 and Do 217 over Corsica. He was killed by flak near Dijon on 8. September 1944.
He is very good example of complicated situation of France in WW2.
But I am sorry Stef, my main source are English and Czech written books, so I think that I have no new info for you. And the article will be only 4 pages in magazine, it is too few space for so colorful (but short) life of one pilot. But I think that is important to know it today.
