Amazing story of an American Pilot in the Dordogne 1944

[Alain Laterre]

Recently I came across an amazing story of an American Pilot by the name of Joel Macpherson who parachuted out of his stricken plane
and spent several incredible months with the Resistance in the South West of France. I have translated the story for my blog about the Resistance
and here's the link to the story : http://http://resistancefrancaise.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/joel-macpherson-american-pilot-in.html

Alain, thank you for the fascinating escape story.

Ha! What an ending. Thanks for this. I have been thoroughly absorbed with all things Resistance lately.

That is a great piece of history! The part about faking appendicitis and getting operated on for it was funny in a macabre sort of way. "I'm not ill"!!!!

bonjour, la famille du Dr Jean Gaussen de Neuvic-sur-l'Isle (Dordogne, France), détient le récit fait par Joël MacPherson à la veille de décéder sur les suites de son évasion de l'hôpital de Périgueux. je le publierai dans les mois à venir dans le Bulletin de la SHAP.
cordialement vôtre. Dr JP Duhard
