Chris Boonzaier Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 I dont know how much of that is "real" and if there is a bit of a padding to his history.... He claims over 154 paracgute jumps with the Legion before WW2... at which time the French had no paratroopers ? Maybe an error by the journalist?

Paul C Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 No. He made 154 jumps in his career, not before WWII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
