Yes, location of the belly-landing of Black 7 is well established but the exact date and identity of the pilot still remain open to question.

Hummmm .... Thank you Peter,

Interesting!
And HOW it has been "well" established; I mean by which way(s) ?
And this well known - by who? - has been published somewhere? I'm curious to know that ... And a lot of French guys, friends, fans, writers, historians ... with me

Regards, Franck.

PS I forgot, what is that place? As for the pilot it's written in the first two posts.

It`s had been established by one of our team members. He found the place and took photos of a farm, which could be seen in background of some of the photos showing this aircraft. It will be published in our forthcoming book.
So stay easy.

Thank you Robert.
I'm afraid I'll be dead before . Ah, by the way: your "team", EOE?..

[steve sheridan]

With regards to Franck and the EOE project, I note nobody responded to my appeal for an update on the 3.7.17.
Its gone very quiet on this project and I wonder whether we will ever get to see
the final outcome of this work.
Rgs,
Steve.

Hi Steve,

we just working on the first volume - 1.9.39. It`s no easy to write a new book on this subject because day for day you get new materials. Just think how many actions, losses and claims you must take into regard and found details of them in many languages. You must select photos (we have now approx. 70.000 but it`s still too less to document e.g. all losses, make profiles, maps, airfield and squadron leader roosters as well as many, many other things. It took me over 10 years to gather materials for Polish Campain and I`m still disappointed with some subjects like German long-reconnaissance units. But of course I understand your disappointment.

Regards

Robert

Thank you for your direct answer Robert.
Still the same team I see! But doesn't matter any way ...

[steve sheridan]

Good morning Robert, thank you for explaining the situation regarding EOE.
The fact nobody has spoken on these pages for so long was concerning, I applaud the team for taking the time and effort to secure hopefully, the finest publication ever seen on our favourite subject.
Best regs,
Steve.
