On this day in 1943, Jean de Selys Longchamps, a Belgian RAF pilot, switched off his radio, left his squadron over Ghent and turned his plane toward Brussels. He hit the narrow Gestapo HQ, dropped a 🇧🇪 flag and made it back to England. He was both demoted and decorated for this. https://t.co/Rg3otaRFY5

Unfortunately, he was killed on 16 August 1943 when his aircraft crashed on landing at RAF Manston after a sortie over Ostend.
