Paul TARASCON
was an ace of the 1914-18 War. He did his military service in
the colonial infantry in 1902. On his return to civilian life,
he bought a second-hand Blériot and made his first flights
at Miramas. Then, on 26 June 1912, just as he was about to take
the French Aeroclub pilot's licence exams, he crashed in flight
after his mechanic forgot to pin the stabiliser to his aircraft.
Seriously injured, he had to be amputated below the knee, and
had to spend long periods in hospital and undergo rehabilitation
to learn to walk again with a prosthesis. His only wish was
to fly again.
In 1914, he enlisted voluntarily and was posted to the Buc aviation
centre in September 1914. He attended the Pau aviation school
before joining the 2nd aviation group, then No. 3 and finally
No. 62 squadrons. He ended the war with 12 victories.
After the war, he was transferred to the colonial infantry reserve.
Mobilised in 1939, he was posted to GAO 548 as a liaison officer
and then to the Chartres training centre in January 1940.
Paul TARASCON joined the Resistance in 1940. He was retired
in December 1941. |
Born 8 November
1882 in Le Thor (84 - Vaucluse).

Pierre TASSIN DE SAINT-PEREUSE
enlisted in the army in 1930, joining the Cavalry and being
incorporated into the 8th Regiment of Mounted Chasseurs.
He entered the École militaire des sous-officiers
de cavalerie in Saumur in 1934. He was posted to the 4th
RDP in 1936. In September 1938, he attended a training course
for aircraft observers at the Avord school.
He received his observer's certificate and was called up
to the GAO 507 observation air group based at Luxeuil in
1938. A student pilot at the Melun and Meknès flying
schools, he obtained his pilot's licence in November. Having
heard General DE GAULLE's call, he escaped from Casablanca
aboard a Glenn-Martin to Gibraltar in June 1940.
Arriving in England on 13 July, he joined the Free French
Air Force and was posted to the Topic Bomber Squadron, which
left England for Takoradi on the Gold Coast in October 1940.
This formation was attached to the Free French Equatorial
Air Forces and on 24 December 1940, along with the ‘Menace’
squadron, became the Groupe réservé de bombardement
n°1 (GRB1), under the command of Major Jean Astier de
Villatte.
In February 1941, it
took part with the GRB1 in the Koufra operations in Libya
in support of Colonel LECLERC's troops. In September 1941,
the GRB1 became the ‘Lorraine’ bombing group in
Damascus. Captain DE SAINT-PEREUSE was in charge for a month,
before taking part in the Libyan campaign with massive bombing
raids on enemy motorised columns and then, in January 1942,
on Bardia and Halfaya. It carried out more than forty bombing
missions during the campaign.
At the end of January 1942, the ‘Lorraine’ returned
to Syria; shortly afterwards, Pierre DE SAINT-PEREUSE, promoted
to Major, left the Group to take command of the ‘Bretagne’
Bombardment Group based at Moussoro in July 1942.
At the end of January 1943, after a number of missions, the
group commanded by Pierre DE SAINT-PEREUSE moved to Sebha,
then to Ben Gardane in southern Tunisia in April 1943. There,
it began a series of training flights for night bombing before
carrying out another twenty war missions.
Promoted to lieutenant-colonel on 15 June 1943, the following
month he handed over command of ‘Le Bretagne’ to
lieutenant-colonel Vuillemin for just a few days and went
to Algiers to receive his orders concerning the Group's future.
On his return from Algiers
on 15 July 1943, a plane crash claimed the lives of four of
the passengers, including lieutenant pilot Marcel Lebois.
Seriously injured and with his right leg amputated, Pierre
DE SAINT-PEREUSE was replaced by Captain de MAISMONT at the
head of the ‘Bretagne’. After a long and painful
convalescence, he was posted to the FAFL headquarters in Great
Britain.
After the war, he continued his military career, was promoted
to colonel in May 1952 and served as head of the Air Force
Historical Service until 1958. Assigned to command the 2nd
RA in 1961, he was retired in 1962.
