Bourgeois in Spain
This pilot flew for the Malraux squadron in Spain, as well as for the Paraguayan air force. He may also have been a pilot in WW1. Does anyone know his first name, and have any details of his career in Paraguay? (I know he was a bootleg pilot for Dillinger in the USA in the early 1930's)

Re: Bourgeois in Spain
Keith,
In following link (in Spanish) the name of François Bourgeois is mentioned, together with many more names of pilots of this particular squadron: http://www.geocities.com/red_spain/MALRAUX.htm Regards, Leendert |

Re: Bourgeois in Spain
Hi Leendert,
Got the link. Bourgeois was a bomber pilot in Spain but I don't know if he was necessarily a bomber pilot in WW1. I am assuming he flew Potez 25 in Paraguay but frankly the air force was so small I doubt pilots specialised. |
