Re: Vichy Fledglings (+announcement of aviation art exhibition)

This picture has been taken at Fréjus - Saint-Raphaël all right but it shows aircraft belonging to Aéronautique navale (French Naval Aviation). Although captured by the Germans, due to previous understandings with the Italians, those a/c were all relinquished to the Regia Aeronautica. Some of them, as the Loire-Nieuport LN 40 n° 01 seen on the picture, were later transfered to Italy but most of them were destroyed in situ in 1943.
