Re: Free French escapees
Some information can be found in Impressments Log Vol IV (Air Britain) by Peter Moss.
I would say rather few aircraft escaped to Britain since at the time large number of French individuals felt betrayed by Britain and it was not opportune to chose that way out.
Since the French armed forces were pushed south I would say that most aircraft still airworthy made their escape to North Africa and not across the Channel.
Otherwise the best sources would be French books and articles about the aircraft used at the time, the French/British civil registers plus Air Britains serial books.
Cheers
