?
|
Claude MANGIN was a student
at the Versailles school in 1936 and was posted to the 51st
squadron in 1938. In 1938, he volunteered to switch from bombing
to fighter aircraft and was posted to a fighter group at Sète,
with which he took part in the French campaign in 1940. He
was posted to Sidi Ahmed in Tunisia and took part with the
I/8 ‘Vendée’ group in the bombing raids on
Italy in 1944 and in the liberation of the Royan pocket.
He was appointed instructor at the Tours school in 1945, then
second-in-command of the Coblence base in 1948. He was posted
to the 1st Wing at Dijon in 1949, then appointed commander
of Air Defence Zone 901 in 1951. He was assigned to the personnel
department in 1952 before being appointed commander of the
Metz base in 1954. He joined the École de guerre in
1955 and took part in the Suez operation in 1956. He was appointed
to the Inspectorate General of the Air Force in 1957, to SHAPE
(General Staff of the Allies in Europe) in 1960, and finally
to the Joint Staff of the Air Force Command in Algeria at
La Reghaïa in 1962. He was an auditor at the CHEM (Centre
des Hautes Etudes Militaires) and was again appointed to the
headquarters of the Allied Forces Central Europe in 1964.
Claude MANGIN was placed on aircrew leave in 1966 with the
rank of Air Brigadier General.
Note: I have no
confirmation to date that Claude MANGIN described here and
Lieutenant MANGIN below are the same person. I am therefore
keeping both names until I can confirm the first name of Lieutenant
MANGIN of GC II/7.
