2. Late 1941, Albert Preziosi joins up with the 341 “Alsace” Squadron, in training in Rayak (Syria). The Squadron is then sent to Fuka (Egypt). It joins in the fighting in Egypt and Tripolitania.

3. June 1942 : Battle of Bir Hakeim.

4. Sept. 1942 : The Normandy-Niemen Squadron is formed and trained in Rayak. 5. Albert Preziosi leaves Rayak in November 1942, reaching the Russian front in March 1943, where he dies a hero’s death on July 28, 1943.
