An error: First combat mission of GC I/3 was on May 13, 1940
In a previous post I mentioned that GC I/3 (equipped with 34 Dewoitine 520s) flew their first mission on May 14, 1940, in the Sedan area, winning 10 victories (including 2 Me 109s and 4 Me 110s) and losing 2 of their number (2 pilots killed). In fact they flew a mission on May 13 already, shooting down 3 Hs 126s and 1 He 111 for no loss.
Sorry for this error.
