Re: Léo C.30 Autogyro - any missions in May-June 1940?
Thanks Leendert
Personally I feel that the French Army is a bit ahead of themselves.
There was no Army aviation as such during the 1930s. ALAT came post war.
The GAO/GAR units were all controlled by AA.
Since their job was Army observation, the Army must have had at least some control over them.
I believe that AA let the Army use the existing C.30 GAR/GAO units with their mix of both AA and
Army personal.
However I doubt there was any official transfer of any AA units to the Army.
As far as I know the Army never claimed any control over other GAR/GAO units, with aircraft far more
potent than the basically discarded LéO C.30.
