_____________

Born in 1909, the French pilot Henri Dericourt is suspected to have been a World War II double agent. In 1942, he fled from occupied France to Britain and joined the Special Operations Executive (SOE) which sent him back to France to arrange secret aircraft landings and transportation of the SOE agents. However, when several British agents and French resistance fighters were arrested by the Gestapo, the SOE began to suspect that it had been infiltrated by a double agent. Whether Dericourt was that double agent remains unclear to this day. He was arrested in 1946 but was acquitted two years later. He was killed in a plane crash in Laos in 1962. But according to some, he might have faked his death to start a new life under a new name as his body was never found.
