About this product
Product Information
Ils venaient des six coins de l'Hexagone, de tous les horizons, il y en a meme qui venaient de notre Empire colonial eclate. ils n'avaient pas tous la meme culture, ni les memes convictions. Caporaux, sous-officiers et officiers, ils etaient de tous grades mais tous, sans exception, se porterent volontaires. Ils n'etaient pas tous destines a devenir des amis, et ils le devinrent meme s'ils n'avaient pas tous suivi le meme chemin, mais ils avaient tous le meme but : le retablissement, dans l'honneur, de la splendeur passee de leur Patrie. Ils nous ont tous quitte aujourd'hui mais ils n'ont jamais failli a leur tache immense, celle de redorer le blason des Ailes francaises, de ressouder ses ailes fracturees, pour a travers elles, redonner a la France le niveau qui etait le sien avant cette funeste annee 1940 ou elles furent, injustement, jugees responsables de sa defaite. Les Russes leur ont fourni de remarquables outils avec lesquels ils ont faconne le joyau que fut leur unite : le groupe de chasse Normandie devenu, par la volonte des Sovietiques, le Regiment Normandie-Niemen. De nombreux ouvrages ont deja rapporte leurs exploits, mais ils meritent que leur memoire soit encore et encore celebree, et portee comme exemple pour les generations futures pour faire comprendre comment la France pays vaincu, bafoue, martyrise a pu, grace a une poignee d'entre eux - 96 exactement - en quatre ans, se rasseoir au banc des grandes nations en montrant au Monde que la France combattait sur tous les fronts. Il suffit parfois de l'ardeur d'une poignee d'hommes au combat pour convaincre et forcer l'admiration de certains - Staline en l'occurrence. C'est le portrait d'une quinzaine d'entre eux qui est brosse dans ces pages ainsi qu'une description abondamment illustree par des profils couleurs de leurs montures : les chasseurs Yakovlev, choisis sans doute parce que leur moteur etait une evolution du moteur francais Hispano-Suiza 12Y francais. L'auteur, ancien president de l'aero-club de Caen, lui-meme organisateur de meetings aeriens du Souvenir a tres bien connu le general Risso, qui fut directeur des Meetings Nationaux dans les annees 70 puis, plus tard, quand il venait en Normandie, de temps en temps pour des commemorations. Il a construit plusieurs saynetes pour le musee des Andelys et a ete invite le 20 juin 1999 a la ceremonie suivie du banquet a l'issue duquel le general Risso, en compagnie du Commandant Lorillon, a declare que faute d'adherents, il se voyait contraint de mettre fin a l'association des Anciens du Normandie-Niemen 39-45. Il a declare que desormais leur epopee appartenait a l'Histoire. Le general Risso nous a quitte le 24 novembre 2005 et le commandant Lorillon le 17 fevrier 2013. Il restait alors deux survivants des pilotes du Normandie de la Seconde Guerre mondiale : Jean Sauvage et Gael Taburet. Jean Sauvage est decede le 22 aout 2014 et Gael Taburet le 10 fevrier 2017. Ce jour-la, avec sa disparition, une page de gloire de l'Armee de l'Air a ete tournee. Ces 96 heros appartiennent desormais a l'Histoire. Francois Robinard a recueilli les souvenirs de cinq d'entre eux, sauves par l'histoire, principalement ceux du General Risso. Ils constituent la base de cet ouvrage. They came from across France, from all walks of life and all military ranks, but joined together as volunteers as the French fighter group, Normandy-Niemen after France had fallen to the Nazis. This book provides a portrait of fifteen pilots and is illustrated with colour profiles of their planes, the Soviet Yak fighters. Becoming operational in 1943 the squadron were a formidable military unit battling alongside the Soviets on the Eastern Front. The author, former president of the Caen flying club, and an organiser of Memorial airshows, knew pilot General Risso personally. Text in French.
