Reconnaissance Group GR II/22
3rd Squadron
4th Squadron


Historical

Originally, the 22nd Wing was a Bombing Wing stationed on the Chartres field and composed of GB I/22 and GB II/22. On September 18, 1936, 22nd Wing left Chartres for Orléans-Bricy. The two Squadrons flew on Amiot 143.
On February 13, 1939, 22nd Bombing Wing changed its speciality and became a Reconnaissance unit. GB I/22 and GB II/22 become GR I/22 and GR II/22.
On May 10, 1940, the GR II / 22 is attached to the 2nd Army of the 1st Air Division of the ZOAN (North Air Operations Area).
GR II/22 was finally disbanded in November 1942.

BARRUET Gaston
Commander
Staff Group
Gaston BARRUET enlisted in December 1909 and was posted to the Artillery.
During the 1st World War, he fought first in France before joining the Armée d'Orient in January 1916. Wounded, he returned to Metropolitan France in March 1917. He fought again, still as an artilleryman, until the end of the war.
He joined the Air Force at the end of 1918 and obtained his Air Observer's Certificate in October 1919, then his Pilot's Certificate in September 1920.
He continued his career between the two wars, taking part in the Moroccan Campaign in 1920 and 1921.
In 1934, following injuries to his right leg and the after-effects of malaria, he was declared 40% invalided out, but continued his service.
He joined the GR II/22 in March 1937 as Deputy Commander before taking over as Group Commander in May 1937.

During the French Campaign, Major Gaston BARRUET did not hesitate to take part in certain day and night missions.
After the Armistice of June 1940, he left the GR II/22 in August 1940 and was appointed Lieutenant-Colonel in December 1940.

His career was impeccable: he was promoted Officer of the Legion of Honour in July 1933, then Commander of the Legion of Honour in December 1940. He received 7 commendations and 4 wounds, including 3 during the Moroccan Campaign.

During the Occupation, he held a number of administrative posts, including Chairman of the Commandant d'Assistance aux Prisonniers.
However, because of his support for Marshal Pétain and his behaviour during the Occupation, he was sentenced on 18 July 1945 by the Orléans Court of Justice to 20 years of national degradation and a 10-year ban on residing in the Loiret département for national indignity.
Never ceasing to denounce the injustice of which he was a victim, he made repeated representations to the authorities in order to be rehabilitated. In 1948, the sentence of national degradation was reduced to 10 years, and the ban on residence was lifted. He was definitively amnestied in January 1951 and was reinstated in the Order of the Legion of Honour by decree on 30 June 1952.

Below, you can read the letter written by Gaston BARRUET to explain the facts that led to his conviction. But let's be careful about events that took place during the troubled and complex times of the Occupation and the Liberation. Gaston Barruet has a remarkable record of service, unfortunately marred by this history, which is not ours to judge.

JACOB André - Etienne
Lieutenant
Observer

In 1930, on graduating from the Ecole Polytechnique, André JACOB opted for aviation and during his military service served as a Second Lieutenant at the Ecole militaire et d'application de l'aéronautique in Versailles. He was certified as an Observer in July 1931 and left the army two months later.

From 1931 to 1937, he worked in industry, first in La Courneuve, then in Morocco. At the same time, he pursued brilliant university studies, which could have led him into the field of research, but his religious faith was stronger, and André JACOB joined the Carmelite Seminary.

In 1939, he was mobilised as a reserve Lieutenant and joined GAO 504, then based in Chartres, before joining GR I/14 on 21 May 1940 and GR II/22 on June 6th, 1940. He was cited for his involvement in the fighting in Holland and Belgium.

At the Armistice, he chose to continue the fight and reached England on 24 June 1940 aboard a Potez 63-11 piloted by Sub-Lieutenant NEUMANN and Sergeant Marcel MOREL . André's last postcard to his father, Professor Charles Jacob, reads: "You won't be hearing from me for a long time. I am going where my duty seems to call me".

Posted to 149 Squadron of the Royal Air Force in mid-July 1940, he took part in five bombing missions over Germany as a gunner in late July and early August 1940.

Assigned as an observer to the Groupe mixte de combat n° 1 commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel DE MARMIER, Lieutenant JACOB took part in the Dakar expedition and then in the campaign to rally Gabon to Free France, during which he carried out several war missions.

On 9 November 1940, not being on duty but volunteering, he left Douala at 6 a.m. on board the Bristol Blenheim N3623, the only radio-equipped aircraft in the group, with radio warrant officer Tazer and pilot staff sergeant Le Guyader. Mission: reconnaissance of the Libreville region in Gabon, and leafleting of the town. Last message received in Kribi around 6.30 am, then a radio message, probably later, from Campo, on the northern border of Spanish Guinea. Then nothing. The plane did not reach Libreville and the leaflets were not thrown out. All the searches were fruitless.

The most likely hypothesis is that the aircraft was lost at sea in the vicinity of Cap Saint-Jean, where tornadoes and permanent bad weather occur. It is also possible that the aircraft was shot down by Spanish anti-aircraft fire.

Born on 14 April 1909 in Corenc (38 - Isère)
Killed on 9 November 1940 in Libreville - Gabon

In 1936/1937, he joined the French Air Force. He wanted to be a pilot but was refused for medical reasons.
He had an operation to solve the problem, but the army refused, even though Pierre MARCADET already held a pilot's licence in civilian life.
Around 1938, he was posted as a machine-gunner to the GB II/22, which became the GR II/22 in February 1939.
He fought in the French Campaign with the Group.
After the war, he became an aircraft mechanic for the army (civilian staff), and worked on the first jet aircraft.
During his long career, which ended in 1976 at Base 705 in Tours, he was awarded the "meilleur ouvrier de France" diploma in mechanics.
