Fatality is well known to the military

AFTER THE ACCIDENT AT LE BOURGET

The "Fatality" is well known to the military

The Inspector General of Aeronautics, General Niessel, has filed his report on the causes of the accident that Warrant Officer Begnies and his mechanic were victims of at Le Bourget on the morning of October 8th. The general's conclusions are clear: It was not the atmospheric conditions that determined the accident.

Or in other words:
Military aircraft must fly in all weather.
Military aviators must obey the orders given.
An absolutely perfect thesis... from a military point of view.

It remains to be seen how General Nollet, who will simply take note of the Niessel report this afternoon, will judge it.
In the minister's office, it is stated, moreover, that the Niessel report will be followed by a technical investigation, after which the minister will have all the elements to take or not take sanctions that were announced a little too hastily.
