Re: "Topic" mission and Romain Gary
Very interesting link, Bertrand, thanks a lot
From the "états de service", it seems that Gary was in transit when the French Blenheims attacked Kufra in early February 1941, so he did not take part in these operations.
He was a member of GB n°1 from October 1941 to 11 December 1941 but apparently did not fly bombing missions here either, as his citation of 3 April 1944 only counts 3 coastal survey missions (during which he attacked an Axis submarine) and 12 bombing missions on the Western Front. If he had flown bombing missions over Egypt/Lybia, it will surely be included here.
