Noel SARTON-Du-JONCHAY
enlisted at the age of 14 under an assumed name in the Algerian
Auxiliary Spahis Regiment commanded by his father, General
Charles SARTON-Du-JONCHAY.
He was taken prisoner in Lille in October 1914, managed to
escape but was recaptured and sentenced to death as a spy.
However, he managed to join a group of civilian deportees
and was repatriated to France in early 1915. Decorated for
his bravery, he was appointed Maréchal des Logis, the
youngest person to hold this rank.
Under his real name this time, he signed up again in December
1916 and served in the cavalry. By the end of the war, he
was a Lieutenant with 7 commendations.
After the Armistice,
he remained in the Army and took part in the Syrian campaign
in 1921. Seriously wounded, he was unable to remain in the
cavalry and turned to aviation. He obtained his pilot's licence
in 1927 and was posted to the 2nd Aviation Regiment in Strasbourg
as commander of the 1st Squadron.
He failed the entrance examination for the Ecole de guerre
and retired as reserve commander in 1933.
He joined the Caudron company, then at the height of its glory,
and gravitated in the world of aviation.
In 1939, he joined SNCASE as head of the aircraft reception
department.
On mobilisation, he
was assigned to the Air Staff and was responsible in particular
for monitoring the assembly of the American Glenn-Martin 167F
and Douglas Boston DB7 bombers.
After the German attack on 8 May, he joined a combat unit,
GB I/62, at his own request, as second-in-command of the group.
He took part in a few missions, however, and was wounded again;
on 31 May 1940, his aircraft, Glenn Martin 167F No37, was
shot down by enemy fighters.
After the Armistice of June 1940, he became actively involved
in the collaboration movement. In particular, he was sent
to North Africa by Laval to organise the Resistance to the
Anglo-American invasion. On his return to France, he was decorated
by Vichy for his actions. He joined Laval's government and
encouraged French officers to join the LVF (Legion of French
Volunteers), then the SS Charlemagne division.
At the time of the Liberation, he took refuge in Switzerland.
Sentenced to death in absentia, he spent 15 years in exile
in Spain and Argentina, and remained close to other Vichy
exiles.
He was amnestied on 19 October 1959.

Lieutenant and Chief of Staff to General Valin, Chief of Staff
of the French Air Force, before being demobilised at the end
of 1945.
François SOMMER returned to civilian life and joined
his father at the head of the company. Under his impetus,
this French company took on a European dimension

safaris, was awarded the Académie Française
prize for his book La Chasse Imaginaire in 1969.
He has also been a member of the Conseil de l'Ordre de la
