Re: French planes hit above Nl between May 10 & May 15,1940.
Lt Folliot was shot down and killed by USN AA gun fire on November 8th 1942 in Fedala, Marocco and could of course not be interviewed but I met Frey twice before his death in 1995. He told me his whole story ; at the moment he jumped from the disabled Potez, he was hit by a full burst of machine gun (fourteen bullets in his body !!!). His parachute which was on automatic mode, did open normaly and landed him, he was unconscious, in Belgium. That is whai he told me the last time I saw him in Toulon in 1993.
Now, human memory being what it is, after 50 years, anything can happen...
