Un correspondant m'interroge sur John Tyler
Voici ce que j’ai trouvé.
Dans les Carnets de Comptabilité de l’escadrille 129 :
Tyler lieutenant pilote
Affecté à la BR 129. M.T. du GQG 21264 du 18 juin 1918. Affecté au parc réceptionneur de l'aviation américaine à Orly. R.D.C. le 21/8/18
(MT: message téléphonique. RDC : Rayé des comptes)
Pas de fiche MDH
Sur internet
'John' Tyler-Brooklyn, NY
Tyler was at MIT, and sailed on the Baltic, and is from Williams College (pg 20). Photos in the scrapbook taken at Tours, France has a single photo of John Tyler noting that he also attended Boston Tech in Engineering and was a member of Psi Upsilon. Group photos taken at the same time in Tours show him with Emmet Manier, William Holyle England, from Portland Oregon, and again w/ Manier, McCabe, Freeman, Merz, Foster and Marine. On Oct. 21, 1917 Peck writes that Tyler speaks French very well which helps when they go into town for a bath and dinner.
23 June, 1918: Assigned to Br. 129.
Sept. 18, 1918: Tyler and Chapin shot down by German airplanes. They had been called back 3 weeks earlier into an American Squadron..."it seems so hard to have them slaughtered up there with that slipshod, slave-driven crowd..." Both had been decorated while with the French.
Page 142: "Rich, Jack Brown and I went up hunting for John Tyler's and some other graves at Conflans, Metz, and Pont-à- Mousson". They found John Tyler's grave near Conflans. "he was murdered ...in one of the flaming coffins which the States so kindly furnished him with" They fixed up his grave a bit and took some pictures to send home. 'General' Strauch was his observer, and they are both in the same grave in the French Civilian cemetery at Conflans. John Tyler was with the 20th Squadron when he was shot down. (pg. 147)
Conflans où il est dit que la tombe de Tyler a été trouvée est vraisemblablement Conflans-en-Jarnisy.
Sa tombe est aujourd'hui à Labry (54800)
Apparemment il était dans le 20th Squadron
Il est sans doute passé par l’Ecole de Tours
L'aviation américaine n'étant pas dans mes compétences...
Merci d'avance pour tout complément
Cordialement
Claude
