Escaped Allied airmen and their former Group

[canonne]

Bonjour,

I would like to know exactly the texts (or directives ) :

1- which forbade Allied flyers (Americans or British ones) not to to incorporated in their former Fighter group (or Bomber group) after escaped capture and retuned to England.

Sometimes they change of theater of operations.

A second “MIA” could drive the flyer to be arrested and probably to give infos or names ...

2- When did this interdidction disappear ? It seems that somes airmen who escaped capture over France during Summer 1944 returned to their Group and still fught with their comrads : but when HQ accepted this change After D-Day ?


I wish you a Merry Christmas.

Philippe
