Re: American volunteer pilots in France in 1940
Interesting book, still from what I manage to find using Amazon and Google, it gives the number of four killed, but without name.
Still, one man killed on 8 is a huge number, even in the confusion in France. By this stage of the war, American newspapers certainly reported each dead American (for example, a boy from German-American nationality was killed by a RAF bomb in Germany on 4 July 1940) so four should have at least be partly reported.
From what I read, in late 1940 the men who had managed to reach Paris were in an hostel, not members of the French airforce yet. So they were civilians, from a neutral country: why would Germans capture them ?
