I am not a military aviator but I have been asked by a friend to try to get some information with which someone on the site may able to help.
A friend of mine is trying to who, through family reasons, totally lost contact with a branch of her family is trying to trace her grandfather who helped, during WW II, to run a French resistance escape organisation which was dedicated to getting downed aircrew from France down into Spain (hence the military aviation connection). If anyone knows of any books or other literature on the subject he would be grateful for the information (even the nickname of the escape line would be a start). Specifically the name of the person he is seeking information about is a Monsieur Dubois who lived in Paris on the Rue de Charenton near the Place de La Bastille (in, it is thought, the 16th arrondissement). He was betrayed to the Germans at some point and his subsequent fate is unknown.
