According to the French wikipedia he's born in Paris and French. According to an article in a Belgian magazine (Weekend Knack - 19/04/2006) he's Belgian.

French Wikipedia also has a LOT more detail. It says he died 9 Februay 1972, that he was born in Paris of English parents, "de filiation hollandaise paternelle". Whilst http://www.alohacriticon.com/viajeliterario/article1069.html?topic=2 has 1969 death, born of a British father and French mother. -- Beardo 03:32, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Matter Teleporter

Am I wrong in thinking that The Fly is the first appearance in mass media of the concept of a matter teleporter, later to be made more famous by Star Trek? Shouldn't this be mentioned in the article?

Also, it is interesting to note that French Wikipedia says Langelaan's assumed identity as a spy in France during World War II was "Langdon." Anybody know if this has anything to do with the novelist Dan Brown's character Robert Langdon, who spends a lot of time sneaking around France?
