On 22 January 1945 two P-47s of GC I/4 Navarre flown by sous-lieutenant Meunier and sergent Albert De la Chapelle took off from Dole-Tavaux airfield for a training flight. After numerous aerobatics at high altitude, De la Chapelle lost control of his P47D-27 n°86 42-26876 and crashed into the ground near Chainée-des-Coupis. The fighter exploded and burned, and the pilot was killed. His badly burned body was brought to the townhall of the village. The crash left a hole of almost one meter deep and fragments were scattered more than 100 meters around.
