I hope that it is only an "Au Revoir"… The big surprise of this ending winter is the Letter of Commendation presented to the FSS by the CAF. It makes me feel even more sorry to have missed the Wing Staff Conference in Midland !

    CÔTE FRANÇAISE DES SOMALIS – DJIBOUTI 1936 / 1939 Portraits d’Aviateurs Par son carnet d’adresses et les légendes de ses photos, on connaît quelques noms d’aviateurs que le sergent Joseph BIBERT a côtoyé à Djibouti pendant son séjour. Si les « seconds couteaux » ont sans doute été tout aussi méritants que les « premiers », seuls ceux-ci laissent vraiment des traces... Joseph BIBERT a retrouvé certains de ces aviateurs plus tard. En particulier à Lahr, entre 1951 et 1956, le lt-colonel BILBAULT, au 1er CATAC commandé alors par le général Jouhaud. En février 1945, alors adjudant-chef au « Bureau Technique » de la BA 117 à Paris (Balard), il participa à l’enquête du grave accident du Junkers Ju-52 n°12 du Groupe de Transport GT 3/15 « Maine » dans l’anti-atlas marocain, avion piloté par le lieutenant GIOCANTI, avec lequel il avait volé sur Potez 25, en particulier le 9 mars 1939 Carnet de vol de François GIOCANTI – Mars 1939 1 SOMMAIRE « Louis » François Marius BILBAULT (1905/1981) -p.3 Pilote militaire- Armée de l’Air André JAPY (1904/1974) – p.7 Pilote civil - Pionnier de l’aviation française Georges CURTHELEY (1902/1964) – p.11 Pilote militaire - Armée de l’Air René GATISSOU (1915/2012) - p.13 Mécanicien et mitrailleur de l’Armée de l’Air Compagnon de la Libération Henri MOGUEZ – p.16 Pilote militaire - Armée de l’Air François GIOCANTI (1909/1993) – p.18 Pilote militaire - Armée de l’Air Max Pierre Henri CORBEAU (1910/1940) – p 29 Pilote militaire - Armée de l’Air Roger Jules Paul VANTILLARD – p 31 Pilote militaire - Armée de l’Air 2 « Louis » François Marius BILBAULT (1905/1981) Dans l’album de photographies de Joseph BIBERT 2 décembre 1937 - Le capitaine BILBAULT (à droite) accueille l’aviateur René JAPY A gauche, en short, l’adjudant pilote VANTILLARD : voir page 31 JAPY a volé d’Istres à Djibouti sur Caudron Aiglon « F-ANSI » : 5 099 km en 23h 53 Record du monde de distance pour avion de cette catégorie 3 décembre 1937 - André JAPY et le capitaine BILBAULT Départ du vol de retour de l’aviateur qui arrivera à Istres le 7 décembre.

    http://www.caffrenchwing.fr AIRSHOW http://www.lecharpeblanche.fr CAF FRENCH WING - BULLETIN MENSUEL - MONTHLY NEWSLETTER http://www.worldwarbirdnews.com Volume 17 - N° 11 - Novembre 2012 EDITORIAL s I was preparing the excellent article Asent by Stéphane Duchemin, about one of the Normandie-Niemen mechanics, Guy Leloup, the terrible news about the death of Roland de la Poype arrived. Decidedly, life is full of those happy or dramatic coincidences… So I changed my plans about this edition of our Newsletter and wrote a modest article intended to pay tribute to a very great man whose popularity was due to his huge modesty, to his great intellect, to his creative spirit, and to his uncountable acts of bravery during the Second World War. Roland de la Poype has joined General Risso, Marcel Albert, and all the members of the Neuneu who have already disappeared, pilots, mechanics, and every man and woman who accomplished their tasks conscientiously in the name of GOOD BYE ROLAND DE LA POYPE Honor and the defense of Freedom. ou will not find any news about the work Yin the hangar this month because illness hit the two main actors of this project, Roger Gouzon and myself. The other volunteers also became rather rare because of their professional and personal occupations, but I hope that they will be more available soon. The list of things to do is still very long. You will find it on the new French Wing web site in the part restricted to members. his web site is progressively built by TBertrand Brown, Stéphane Duchemin, and myself, but if some members feel like helping with the elaboration of its contents, they will be very welcome.
