Memory of American Fighter Pilot Shot Down in France
Marie Bastien, a French woman, remembers an American fighter plane being shot down near her village in northern France 80 years ago. She worked hard to keep the memory of the pilot, 1st Lt. Paul Chaufty, alive. Chaufty's great niece, Nicole Saunders, learned more about her great uncle thanks to Bastien's efforts. A plaque honoring Chaufty's memory was unveiled in Saint-Ellier-les-Bois, where he was found.
