Yes and no ...

The beginning is true. In case of US attack in Martinique, the aircrafts were ready to be burned. The 12th may 1942, Martinique was on alert, but the guy who had the responsability of the aircrafts did not understand the message and began to set fire to them...

Sorry for my poor english...
