Potez shot in May 1940 over Belgium
 

Gents,

Can somebody tell me if any Potez aircrafts have been shot during May 1940 in the area of Saint-Trond and Hannut?
Thanks

Don't you have any date to reduce the research ?

A total of 9 Potez 63.11 crashed in Belgium, the firts on the 12th, the last on the 16th May 1940. None crashed in St-Trond or Hannut, and I am not good enough in Belgian geography to locate the crash places.

The crashplaces were Mont-sur-Marchienne, St Jobin-Goor, Bouvignes, Saint-Nicolas, Charleroi, Mignault, Mettet and Braine-le-Comte.

Crashes listed in St-Trond:
11/5/40: LeO 451 n°46 of GB II/12 (3 KIA, 1 WIA) shot down by Flak
12/5/40: Breguet 693 n° 19 of GBA I/54 (1 WIA) shot down by Flak

Crashes listed in St-Trond:
13/5/40: Morane 406 n° 703 of GC II/6 (pilot OK) shot down by Flak

More details available if needed. The source of the above is the loss list summary of the book "Ils étaient là".

Thanks Laurent!
Yes, I'm interested in the airplanes of the armée de l'air who were shot down in the area of Saint-Trond. I'm looking since a while after the book you named but without success!
Greetings,
Alexander

The above loss was noted at Hannut, the two other are in St-Trond, I just copied the sentence and forgot to change the location.
