PALLIER Gabriel

GC I/1
Air School April 14, 1940
Gabriel PALLIER, who joined the French Air Force in 1915, fought as a fighter pilot and was credited with two probable victories.
He joined the Saumur Officer Training School in 1921 and 1922 and, with the rank of Lieutenant, was posted to Syria.
On his return to France, he was posted to the Ecole d'Avord and promoted to Captain. From 1931 to 1934, he joined the 4th Indochina Escadrille, where he flew raids on Potez 25 TOEs. He returned to France to take command of the 1ere Escadre d'Aviation légère de Défense before taking command of GC I/1, then based at Etampes, in October 1936.
Transferred on 14 April 1940 to the Saint-Cyr pilot school, he tried in June 1940 to transfer his school to North Africa, but the limited autonomy of his aircraft decided otherwise. He was appointed acting commander of the Toulouse-Francazal air park, but refusing to collaborate, he preferred to ask to be put on leave before joining the FFI in Paris in 1943. He took part in the liberation of Paris. He rejoined the Air Force in 1947 and was appointed Lieutenant-Colonel. He held various administrative posts before retiring in 1951.
Born on 19 October 1896 in Quang-Yen (Tonkin)
Died at Fréjus (83 - Var) on 23 July 1990
