He was involved in the ethiopian war and owned a beechcraft for a while. By the time he was known in france as the "Negus's pilot". Perhaps he did help the negus escape to england with this plane. As far as I know he left france to ethiopia on the 22 april 1936 and returned on the 9 may (i've read the negus arrived in england by the 2 may) Could it be the same beechcraft ? I know my grand dad was also involved in the spanish war. He was saved there from execution at the last minute by Malraux. Could he be the missing link in this story ? All i know of my grand father (who died in 1973) was told to me by my mum and there are a lot of mysteries about him (I was told he was also captain in Chiang Kai-shek's army during the chinese civil war). I'm currently trying to assemble some pieces of this strange puzzle My grand father was René Drouillet who once was aviation adviser to the negus.
