Re: Armee de l'Air ground losses May-June 1940

thanks a lot on info on
Pierre Leyvastre. I have Vols 5 - 8 of Green's "War planes of the second world war" series and I bought them mainly because of the info on French a/c in them. By that time I already had rather good info on British, US, German, Japanese and even on Italian a/c but to get info in English or in Finnish on French a/c was a problem and the info on them in those volumes of Green's series seemed good and I was very satisfied to my buy.Also the article in Air Enthusiast seemed very professional and that was the reason that I tried to memorise the main facts mentioned in it.

I also had Mushroom book Fighters over France & the Low Countries and my adding produced the same result. On claims, it seemed than some Bloch 152s were claimed as H-75s and also probably some of the numerous Spitfire claims were in fact against D.520s. I mean there were too few Bloch 152 and D. 520 claims so there must have been rather many misidentifications. The target identification was a problem in all AFs and probably still is.

thanks for the clarification.
