FWIW I recall reading a book many, many years ago (ie 50+ yrs) by a French author abut the WW2 exploits of notable (mainly French) airmen. One of the chapters therein was titled "Jean-Paul Maridor and the Jim Crow Squadron".
I checked in my copy of "Aces High" and sure enough J-P Maridor did serve on 91 Squadron.
I am pretty certain the book was called "Born to Fly" by Georges Blond.
It was a long time ago and this is stretching my long-term memory to the limits but I send this message in the hope it may be useful to you.
