A particularly courageous V-1 destruction was by Capitaine Jean Maridor:
'In a chase over Kent, French pilot Capitaine Jean Maridor of No 91 Sqn fired and hit a target in the tail control, causing it to dive. To his consternation he saw it falling directly on a military field hospital, identified by a large red cross in the grounds. Many witnesses testified that the gallant Frenchman, not having time to set up another firing attack, deliberately rammed the warhead, which exploded and killed him.
