Novelization depiction[edit]

In the novelization by Michael Resnick, this character is named Colonel John H. Guidry. Having little respect for the French military leader Charles de Gaulle, he manages to fly into German airspace using a Mosquito bomber with English markings up until he is shot down 6 miles from Obersalzberg, crashing in te nearby Bavarian forest.[1].

Having been saved by Troy, Dillon and Jamie Hamilton, he is very mistrusting of the trio, and is still unsure what to make of them even after they successfully destroy the V2 prototype rocket. However, before leaving, Jamie Hamilton scratches "Watergate, 1972" into Guidry's dog-tags, letting him know that they are time travelers without outright saying so.[2]
