Re: Seeking French fighter unit that attacked an He111 over Evreux, France, on 9 June 1940

Rudi is right with his objection.

Specht was a member of 5./KG 54 during 1939. On 1.Feb.40, when the III. Gruppe was formed, he was transferred to 8./KG 54. So the B3+AC was a former II.Gruppe aircraft taken over during early June when this Gruppe was in progress to convert to the Ju 88. His last flight took place at Handorf on 13.Jul.40 with the B3+FC (also a former II.Gruppe aircraft). At the same date the III. Gruppe became disbanded.

Specht made during the summer 1940 some flights at the Fluglehrerschule Briest and continued his flying career in the spring 1941 with Flugbereitschaft/Luftflotte 1.
