In the night of september 12 to 13, 1944, B-24 serial 42-78243, called "Dallas Lady", crashed against the abrupt wall of the Corne de Bouc, mountain located on the commune of Fontan, in the valley of Roya (department of the Maritim's Alps). Its mission was to drop containers and packs to the underground of Allessandria's sector(N/E of Piemont, north Italy).

Here also, any members of the crew (compound of 11 men) survived. Their mortal remains were recovered by the German soldiers who bring them to the civil cemetery of Fontan.

Just after the war, the bodies were exhumed and moved, by the American services of identification, to the military temporary cemetery of Luynes (Rhône's valley).

Now, the crew rest in US cemetery Zachary Taylor, Louisville, Kentucky.

The wreck of B-24 "Dallas Lady", until 1991 (year of its recovery) was single due to the quantity and the quality of the wreks still in place and largely disseminated in an imposing fall.

Following the research made in collaboration with J. K Mattison in the USA, A. Ramoin, A. Fine, R. Cohen, S. Poliakovic, then, thereafter, with A. Poggi, president of veteran of AFN. of Beausoleil, that the most imposing memorial of the Maritim's Alps department was raised.

In this day of september 14, 1991 most families of this crew found thanks to Liliane Kell were joined together at the bottom of the pek of Corne de Bouc, for one of most important inaugural ceremony (mediatization, number of people and elected officials present), who was given us to assist!
