Doc McLeod - Sicily to France

[Ianfst]

Thanks for the suggestion, which, funnily enough, we hadn't considered at all before now. Regular Axis maritime links between France and Sicily at that time were almost non-existant because of the overwhelming presence of allied forces, both sea and air but it is of course possible that he was taken on board by a passing vessel.
I have no idea how to research or verify thaat possibility though !?

My guess is that this pilot was rescued at sea and the ship was sailing to Marseille, then, given as prisonner to the air force based at Istres. It seems more probable for me.
