Morts Pour La Liberté – The tragic fate of Flight “C Charlie”
Probably the first time that a Halifax has featured in a major film! This is an historic 52 minute drama/documentary about RAF Halifax Bomber “C Charlie” which crashed in the Hautes-Pyrénées in July 1944 while delivering vital supplies to the Resistance. The seven-man Anglo-Canadian crew did not survive.
