I believe that the story was actually the British and they were testing the Chunnel train locomotive windshield. Other that that, the story is correct. They did not thaw the chicken first.

Whoever it was, it's still a riot.
But the guy who related it to me had said the French were the guilty party.
But it matters not, it's still a darn good story.

At the time I had chalked it up to being a "pilot's story" except that it didn't begin with "There I was" or "No S**t!" like the normal stories from former soldiers.

I find the darn things design itself interesting, a round 'gun tube' that can launch a non-round chicken to 500 miles an hour or so. I'm guessing that's the same type of 'gun' the used to launch the foam at the shuttle wing section.
