On October 6, 1939, returning
from a reconnaissance mission over Germany, LéO 451
No6 was shot down by two German fighters. Georges AOUACH,
wounded, managed to land his burning aircraft near Euskirchen.
Lieutenant Georges Aouach is taken prisoner.
Initially interned at Oflag IV-D in Elsterhorst, where he
was treated, he was transferred to the Dulay Luft camp.
On March 29, 1942, along with some twenty other officers,
he managed to escape through a tunnel dug beneath the camp.
Georges Aouach managed to reach Marseille, in the Zone Libre,
where he was reunited with his wife. Together, they headed
for Tunisia, then Algeria after the Allied landings in North
Africa in November 1942.
Georges AOUACH joins the Free French Air Force, serving as
a pilot in a Bombardment Group, before joining the GB II/20
"Bretagne". He took part in the fighting in Italy,
supported the American offensive on the Saar in 1945, and
took part in the reduction of the Royan pockets.
In September 1945, he was assigned to General Paul GERARDOT's
staff. He was none other than the Chief Flight Officer of
Léo451 n°6, on board which he crashed in Germany
on October 6, 1939.
With the war over, Georges
AOUACH continued his career as a pilot with theGT 3/15 Maine
before retiring around 1950 with the rank of Colonel.
Returning to civilian life, he became Sales Director of Thomson-France.
On August 5, 1971, while driving to Spain with his wife, he
was involved in a road accident near Saint-Aignan-sur-Cher,
and ended up in the path of an oncoming truck: they were both
killed in the accident..
