Assigned to GB
I / 63. On 24 May 1940, during a cross-country transport mission with
Glenn-Martin 167F no. 61, it was mistakenly shot down by British anti-aircraft
fire and crashed in flames. The two aircraft were carrying around
5 million Francs. Approximately two hundred thousand Francs escaped
the fire in both aircraft, but did disappear... The crew was killed.
The British buried the bodies but only managed to identify Sergeant-Chef
MONTHOIS (Machine-Gunner). Sergeant EAUCLAIRE (Pilot) and Lieutenant
MAURY (Observer) were identified a few years later by Madame L'Herbier-Montagnon
thanks to a written document found in the wreckage of the aircraft.
