Re: Pre WW2 Belgium Parachute Bailouts ?

Paul,

No joy in finding a reference to Hanset and his para jump yet.

However, a Belgian newspaper of 4 May 1933 writes that on the previous day pilot (no rank given) Dubois parachuted down over Nivelles airbase after one of the wings had broken off from his fighter plane. No type of destroyed plane mentioned.

Report adds that after safe landing of Dubois, he coolly stepped in another plane and did 'extraordinary aerobatics' high up in the air.

Regards,
Leendert
