Re: French in the FE

In short:

the French Moranes were used in the Thai-French war in late 1940-early 1941 and participated in some air battles, scoring some victories.

Next event of date was in early 1942 when 2 or 3 were shot down in error in Hanoi area by Japanese fighters that mistook them for P-40.

No more activity until the end of the war. In March 1945 when the Japanese attacked French military bases all over Indochina, only some Potze remained flyable IIRC.
