  • Count Robert De La ROCHEFOUCAULD Obituary
    THE INDEPENDENT – OBITUARIES – 21st June 2012 Count Robert de la Rochefoucauld Veteran-of SOE F Section Descended from an ancient French noble family, Count Robert de la Rochefoucauld was one of the last surviving French agents of Britain’s Special Operations Executive (SOE), the secret organisation set up by Winston Churchill to aid anti-Nazi resistance fighters. There are now believed to be only two surviving French agents of the SOE, which Churchill ordered to “set Europe ablaze” through sabotage. While General Charles de Gaulle organised his Free French Forces (FFL) from his London base, some Frenchmen were hand-picked and trained by the SOE before being sent back to their occupied country to provide money, equipment and training to the local maquis. De la Rochefoucauld was recruited by Captain Eric Piquet-Wicks, who was in charge of the SOE’s RF Section of French nationals based at 1 Dorset Square, London. They worked in parallel with, though not always in agreement with, the more famous F Section run by the legendary spymaster Maurice Buckmaster. The SOE would later be dubbed “the Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare”. De la Rochefoucauld received parachute, sabotage and commando training at secret locations in England and Scotland, including “silent killing” techniques taught by the renowned duo Fairbairn and Sykes – designers of the famous commando knife – at Arisaig, Inverness-shire, before being parachuted back into his homeland. Dropped into France twice by the RAF, captured twice by the Nazis and once sentenced to death by firing squad, he survived by using the unarmed combat skills taught to him in the Scottish Highlands.

C’est cette rencontre de Georges Bégué et de Max Hymans, le matin du 7 mai, qui constitue le point de départ effectif de la section F en France.

Louis Aragon, The Red Poster 1 The story of an English network in the French Resistance in Marseille 1943 – 1944 For Margaret, Patrick and Brigitte Browne A furtive silhouette shoots out of the dark stomach of a four-engined Halifax B Mark II Special bomber. It is 2am on the night of 13/14 August 1943. The aeroplane flies over the Jura département, not far from Lons-le-Saulnier, before continuing on its route towards the North East, where it will cast out another member of its human cargo above the Montbéliard region (Haute-Saône). This Royal Air Force equipment has been – as it has for every mission – put at the disposal of the Special Operations Executive (SOE), created by Churchill in 1940 to ‘set Europe ablaze’ by parachuting specially trained agents into occupied France, to help the maquis, equip them with arms and instruct their sabotage teams. The bomber, unarmed this time and prepared only to transport parachutists and their equipment, took off a few hours earlier at the discreet Tempsford aerodrome in Bedfordshire, north of London. Each month, with the full moon, secret agents depart from this RAF aerodrome, their arrival details sent by coded messages to the leaders of networks, or to resistants liaising with SOE’s F Section1.

  • Air Transport
    The History of Air Transport KOSTAS IATROU Dedicated to my wife Evgenia and my sons George and Yianni Copyright © 2020: Kostas Iatrou First Edition: July 2020 Published by: Hermes – Air Transport Organisation Graphic Design – Layout: Sophia Darviris Material (either in whole or in part) from this publication may not be published, photocopied, rewritten, transferred through any electronical or other means, without prior permission by the publisher. Preface ommercial aviation recently celebrated its first centennial. Over the more than 100 years since the first Ctake off, aviation has witnessed challenges and changes that have made it a critical component of mod- ern societies. Most importantly, air transport brings humans closer together, promoting peace and harmo- ny through connectivity and social exchange. A key role for Hermes Air Transport Organisation is to contribute to the development, progress and promo- tion of air transport at the global level. This would not be possible without knowing the history and evolu- tion of the industry. Once a luxury service, affordable to only a few, aviation has evolved to become accessible to billions of peo- ple. But how did this evolution occur? This book provides an updated timeline of the key moments of air transport. It is based on the first aviation history book Hermes published in 2014 in partnership with ICAO, ACI, CANSO & IATA. I would like to express my appreciation to Professor Martin Dresner, Chair of the Hermes Report Committee, for his important role in editing the contents of the book. I would also like to thank Hermes members and partners who have helped to make Hermes a key organisa- tion in the air transport field.
