Re: P-39Q French Airacobra crashed in Switzerland July 1945
Hallo Ueli


Another press article (Journal de Geneve, 25th July 1945) - see attachment,

I oppened a thread on the French side ( http://www.aerostories.org/~aeroforu...p?nummsg=76640 ), and Francois de Laurens Castelet was born in Benquet (dpt of Landes) the 19th March 1920. You will find a photo of Francois de Laurens here : http://www.aerostories.org/~aeroforu...p?nummsg=76641


Have you checked at the Kantonspolizei or where their papers are archived ? Knowing Swiss Gründlichkeit, something should exist.

Due to the number of people involved at the ceremonies, it's obvious : an accident report is (or was) somewhere in the French archives (Service historique de la Défense, Vincennes). But access is now complicated for everyone not living nearby.
