P-47 of the Free French Air Force to be recovered

On February, 14 1945 two U.S. P-47 „Thunderbolt“ aircraft from the Groupe de Chasse I/4 "Navarre", an unit equipped with French pilots of the Free French Air Force (FFAF), took off from their airbase Dole-Tavaux. One of the pilots was 24-year old Capitaine Antoine Allard, born 1920 in Paris.

May he rest in peace.

Uwe Benkel said: "We don`t make a difference what kind of nation the soldiers or pilots are. We will bring them back home to their families and also write the last chapter of families histories,“ adding, "The families need a place where they can remember their war dead. They need to have a place on a cemetery not in the fields or in the waters."
