Ironclad over Madagascar
 

Hello
I'm looking for any information about IRONCLAD ,the allied operation over Madagascar between May and November 1942. Especially, I'm looking for picture of French Aircraft damaged on ground. The aircraft are Potez 6311, Potez 25 TOE and Morane Saulnier MS 406C1.
I also looking for information of RAF and SAAF squadron which took action during this operation.
Thanking you in advance
Best regards

I've got it. The reason is that I want a different wiew of this opération. "L'aviation de Vichy au combat" is a very good book but the part speaking about Ironclad is very shorty.
I'm triyng to buy "Dust clouds in the Middle East" but if someone can send me a copy of the page speking about "Ironclad", I would be very happy.
Thanks for your interest
Best regards
Franck

The part regarding Madagascar in "Dust Clouds" is just the translation of the chapter in my book. It will learn you nothing more.
