Desertion of Two French Pilots.

In MAW3,there is a mention of two French pilots who "defected" back to France: "How the French pilots would perform was viewed with some concern as two of their number had deserted en route to the front, and had flown their new aircraft to German occupied France." They were flying P-40Fs. This happened around January 9,1943.

Does anyone have more information? Name of pilots? Subsequent fate?
