Re: French Anti Ship Bombing 1939-40
French torpedo bombers belonged to the Aéronautique navale (or French Navy if you prefer), which had seven "escadrilles" equiped with Laté 298 floatplanes on May 1940 (in all, 64 aircraft).
No torpedo attacks were ever attempted (even against Italy) and the Latés were only used for low-level gound attacks with heavy losses to the 109s and Flak.
The Armée de l'Air showed a complete lack of interest in anti-shipping strikes.
Hope this answer part of your question.
