Re: French pilot Robert Pailloncy infos needed !
Source: "Pilotes français sur l'Alsace et l'Allemagne", page 655
2 May 1945 Sous-lieutenant PAILLONCY BURIN D'AYSSARD of GC III/3 "Ardennes" took off at 10h00 for a weather recon but lost radio contact at 10h50 over Freiburg. Infantrymen of 81e RI found his body the next day, in the trees of a forest near St Märgen, about 15 km east of Freiburg. After bailing out the pilot received fatal injuries when landing in trees. At this time GC III/3 was flying with P-47 and was based at Colmar. No serial is given for the aircraft of Pailloncy. Hope it helps Laurent
