Battle P5232 218 Sqn : 14.05.1940
For the 70th anniversary of the Battle of France and the 70th Anniversary of the Air Bombing on pontoon bridges on Sedan, a publication will be soon published. I am looking for information for some aircraft. I mean a photograph of the aircraft on the ground or of the crew, the aircraft code and any other precise information. Anyone who helps will be of course mentioned and thank.
Thank you very much. Those British airmen deserve few researches…
