Famed Airman Killed in Battle.

Captain George Gunemeyer, the famous French aviator credited with bringing down fifty-two German aeroplanes, is believed to be dead. Captain Gunemeyer is thought to have been killed during a reconnaisance flight over Flanders on which he left Dunkirk September 11. Nothing has been heard of him since and it is assumed that he has been lost, but not until recently did army headquarters issue a confirmatory report.
