Good Red Friday !
Filmed by a French dirigible crew in 1919, this 2 minute segment is only part of the original 78 minute film currently held in France. No commercially available copy of the complete original film is available yet....but we live in hope. The pilot served as a member of the resistance during WW2 and was shot by the Germans in 1944.
Romain Demarais :
The pilot was Jacques Trolley de Prévaux, and this part of the film was taken above Flanders in Belgium. The town here is Ypres which was bombarded by both British and German armies and we can also see Nieuport I believe.
