In
this section dedicated to the Pilots and Crews of the French Naval
Aviation, I wanted to pay tribute to all these men, who will remain
unknown for the most part: the Great History will soon forget them,
with even more certainty than the members of the Air Force.
They
patrolled on long and endless missions over the seas and oceans.
They had the courage to face, at the controls of often outdated
aircraft, an enemy always superior in number. Too many are those
who have given their lives in these unequal battles often waged
in total self-denial.
In the different sections, you can find individual cards on some
of these men, or the complete lists (will they be one day?) by specialty.
To date, 358 Men are listed
in these lists, they are distributed as follows:
Fighter Aviation : 67 men
Bombardment & Torpedo
: 118 men
Embarked Seaplanes : 48
men
Exploration & Surveillance
: 104 men
Mechanics : 21 men
These lists will be updated
regularly. Your help is of course welcome to help me complete them.
