Henri, a fellow legionnaire, warned them that their target was a village of civilians, and that Buehler was secretly a nazi who was attempting to discredit France. Fred, Pedro and Slim still went on the mission, but dropped their bombs on a section of uninhabited desert. Heri thought they were really going to blow up the village, so he set a bomb in their plane. The resulting explosion killed the trio of bombardiers, but they rose from the grave as ghosts. As the Ghost Patrol they spent the rest of WW2 either sabotaging nazi plans or simply annoying the nazis.
