Charles Simonson - 356th Fighter Squad Pilot

NEW VIDEO CLIP POSTED -

A FRENCH TV NEWS STORY FROM 1996 ----


Charles Simonson was shot down in August 1944
while flying for the 354th Fighter Group in WW2.

In 1996, he went back to place where he was shot down
and the French villagers pulled him from the wreckage.

This is a French newscast about his return to France.
(We do not currently have a translation)

We met Charles and did a new interview with him for
our up-coming documentary
"The Heroes of the 354th Fighter Group."

He gave us a copy of this video for use in the documentary.
