Re: American volunteer pilots in France in 1940
Hello,
Don't know but wouldn't it have had something to do with these airmen perhaps been seconded to the FAF or perhaps attached due to the erection of American a/c and the training of French airmen that were to fly the American a/c then being entered into French service, such as the Glenn Martin, North American (Texan), Douglas and Curtis Hawk ?
Would this also predate the "request" that was made for "volunteers" to go to Great Britain's aid ?
Or perhaps they were of French-Canadian origin and thought to have been "American"?
