Re: Pre WW2 Belgium Parachute Bailouts ?

Paul,
Indeed Louis Sauvenière. He got killed in another accident on 13 Aug 1933 at Knokke-Zoute. Flew in a light civil plane and (answering his fighter pilot's nature) engaged himself in aerobatics outside the envelope the light plane was designed for. Wing broke off.
Sauvenière got out, but was too low already for parachute to open fully.
Regards,
Leendert
