During an afternoon patrol over Dijon, the Czech pilot Svatopluk Janouch, who served as a Lieutenant in the GC I/6 of the French Armée de l’Air, saw smoke leaking out the engine of his Morane 406 n° 860. He did his best to save the plane and return to his base of Chissey-sur-Loue. But the plane took fire just before landing, when it was only at 100m altitude. Janouch managed to bale out and landed near the Morane that crashed and burned on the airfield.
