FREE FRENCH AIR FORCE IN WWII "FRANCE FLIES AGAIN" & ALEUTIANS CAMPAIGN 74042
This WWII newsreel contains two segments. The first, "France Flies Again" shows the hand-off of P-40 Warhawk aircraft to the Free French Air Force (French: Forces Aériennes Françaises Libres, FAFL), the air arm of the Free French Forces during the Second World War. The second segment shows the war in the Aleutians, including the assault on Attu and Kiska. This material was shot by Hollywood director John Ford and incorporated into the longer length film "Report from the Aleutians."

Free French Air Force A-24B Banshee over the French Atlantic coast (Dec. 1944)
The Douglas A-24 Banshee was the USAAF equivalent of the SBD Dauntless without arrestor hook.
Free French squadrons received 40 to 50 A-24Bs in Morocco and Algeria during 1943.
The most combat-experienced of the Banshee units was GC 1/18 Vendee, which flew A-24Bs in support of Allied forces in southern France. This squadron flew from North Africa to recently liberated Toulouse to support Allied and French resistance troops. Later, the unit was assigned to support attacks on cities occupied by the Germans on the French Atlantic coast.

The French Airforce during the Battle of France - 1940
While the RAF got international fame in WW2, the French Armée de l'Air (Airforce) was not as much lauded despite the courage of its pilots and the relatively good results over the Luftwaffe during the Battle of France. Indeed, the French Airforce had few good planes, most of its aircrafts were old and outmached by German fighter planes. The French High Command did not pay a great attention to Airforce, this strategic mistake proved disastrous.

This WWII newsreel contains two segments. The first, "France Flies Again" shows the hand-off of P-40 Warhawk aircraft to the Free French Air Force (French: Forces Aériennes Françaises Libres, FAFL), the air arm of the Free French Forces during the Second World War. The second segment shows the war in the Aleutians, including the assault on Attu and Kiska. This material was shot by Hollywood director John Ford and incorporated into the longer length film "Report from the Aleutians."
The Aleutian Islands Campaign was a struggle over the Aleutian Islands, part of the
Alaska Territory, in the American theater and the Pacific theater of World War II starting on 3 June 1942. A small Japanese force occupied the islands of Attu and Kiska, but the remoteness of the islands and the difficulties of weather and terrain meant that it took nearly a year for a far larger U.S./Canadian force to eject them. The islands' strategic value was their ability to control Pacific Great Circle routes. This control of the Pacific transportation routes is why U.S. General Billy Mitchell stated to the U.S. Congress in 1935, "I believe that in the future, whoever holds Alaska will hold the world. I think it is the most important strategic place in the world." The Japanese reasoned that control of the Aleutians would prevent a possible U.S. attack across the Northern Pacific. Similarly, the U.S. feared that the islands would be used as bases from which to launch aerial assaults against the West Coast.
A battle to reclaim Attu was launched on May 11, 1943 and completed following a final Japanese banzai charge on May 29th. On 15 August 1943, an invasion force landed on Kiska in the wake of a sustained three-week barrage, only to discover the Japanese had abandoned the island on July 29th.
The battle is known as the "Forgotten Battle", due to being overshadowed by the simultaneous Guadalcanal Campaign. In the past, many western military historians believed it was a diversionary or feint attack during the Battle of Midway meant to draw out the U.S. Pacific Fleet from Midway Atoll, and was in fact launched simultaneously under the same overall commander, Isoroku Yamamoto. However, historians Jonathan Parshall and Anthony Tully have made an argument against this interpretation, stating that the Japanese invaded the Aleutians to protect the northern flank of their empire and did not intend it as a diversion
The record of the Forces Aériennes Françaises Libres over the course of the war is as follows:
*344 enemy aircraft brought down
*46 possible
*97 damaged
*104 vessels sunk, set on fire or damaged
*hundreds of vehicles, locomotives and equipment of all kinds destroyed on all fronts.
On 17 June 1940, five days before the signing of the Franco-German Armistice, the first "exodus" (of 10 airmen) took flight from Bordeaux-Mérignac to England. Others rallied to General Charles de Gaulle from France and French North Africa during the period June 1940 to November 1942. A contingent of volunteers from South American countries such as Uruguay, Argentina and Chile was also created, as Free French officials recruited there personally.
All FAFL aircraft were to be identified differently from those of the Vichy French air force, which continued to use the pre-war tricolor roundel. In order to distinguish their allegiance from that of Vichy France, the Cross of Lorraine - a cross with two parallel horizontal arms, with the lower arm slightly longer than the upper one - was the symbol of Free France chosen by Charles de Gaulle. The cross could be seen in the same places on FAFL aircraft where the roundels used to be on all French military aircraft, that is, on the fuselage and on the lower and upper surfaces of the wings. The FAFL was formed with one “mixed” unit at RAF Odiham on August 29, 1940, under the command of Commandant (Major) Lionel de Marmier.

Later, the unit was assigned to support attacks on cities occupied by the Germans on the French Atlantic coast.

While the RAF got international fame in WW2, the French Armée de l'Air (Airforce) was not as much lauded despite the courage of its pilots and the relatively good results over the Luftwaffe during the Battle of France. Indeed, the French Airforce had few good planes, most of its aircrafts were old and outmached by German fighter planes. The French High Command did not pay a great attention to Airforce, this strategic mistake proved disastrous.
