If anyone wants to check it out, it's on file DEFE3/64 which contains material decypted from 29-31 July 1944. The time needed to decipher the message makes it unlikely that XL 4202 reports on something that happened on 31 July. It may contain an intention for that day's flying though.
Hello.
Sorry to ask a dumb question for this first post but I'm not accustomed with this kind of thing, this Saint-Ex story just amaze me and make me curious...
So are those records you are mentioning are available to public? Are they online?

Thanks and good luck for your research!
