On page 145 of Icare Revue De L’aviation Francaise Bulletin No 119 ( published 1987) there is an Aeropostale route map for the Western Sahara. This map shows the route flown between Cape Juby (near Carnary Isles) and Dakar (Senegal) in the 1930s and is historically a most interesting map because it shows many features and locations that are named after the famous men of Aeropostale. These include : Beach Ville and Rozes, Fort Dauret, Bay of Saint Exupery, Cape Mermoz, Lake Gourp Brable, Cape Lecrivain, Port Etienne, Cape Vanier, Archipeligo Aeropostale and Lake Guillaumet. Can anyone tell me if these place names still exist ? Does a good French atlas show them ? Perhaps the WAC 1:1,000,000 aeronautical chart for the Western Sahara remembers these airmen ?

P.S. There are two “ Epaves “ ( I think this is the French word for wreck.). One is called Epave La Salle and the other Epave Du Goliath Bossouthrot. Both are in the desert close to the coast and positioned each side of 20o North.
