WILLIAME Robert - Eugène
Captain
on October 1, 1939

Robert Williame entered the Saint-Cyr Military School in 1930. In 1932, he joined the French Air Force with the rank of Second Lieutenant, and was commissioned as a Military Pilot at Avord in 1933. He joined the GC I/2 Group on 1 October 1934.

In July 1940, he contracted scarlet fever and was forced to take a rest. He returned to service in September, but as the GC I/2 Group had been disbanded in August 1940, he was posted to the GC II/9, which he joined on 2 October 1940. He took command of the 6th Squadron of GC III/9. He was killed by accident on 31 October 1940 during a simulated air battle on board a MB152 Bloch: he was "confronting" Captain TRICAUD at the time, but his aircraft stalled at low altitude, probably as a result of Captain WILLIAME feeling unwell, still weakened by his illness.
