Memories of
Forgotten Wars

Please note that the English version of the website is still under construction.

The history of the Second World War is relatively well known today. As an illustration, it is sufficient to note the number of documentaries regularly broadcast on television channels, as well as the multitude of publications.

Yet, there are still many topics relatively untreated or totally forgotten.

The purpose of this website is to bring out these stories from the mists of memory to make them discover to as many people as possible. It is also a question of paying tribute to soldiers and airmen, whatever their nationalities, in order not to forget them.

The stories presented here will be mainly focused on aviation and its history with a zoom on the African continent.

Please note that I am not English speaking (I am French). I tried to translate this website to make it understandable to a non-French speaking audience. I present, in advance, my apologies for the many  errors in the English language. Thank you not to hesitate to report them to me in order to improve.

The East Africa Campaign

If the history of the Second World War is relatively well known today, there are still forgotten episodes of this conflict. This is the case of the East African Campaign between the Italians and the British Empire. This is to tell the rich and unknown story of the air operations that took place there.

No.615 (County of Surrey) Squadron

This squadron has the particularity of having participated in the Battle of France and England, as well as having hosted several free French pilots. Curiously, memories of the war have been forgotten. These few pages are intended to tell his story.
