Re: MS 406 of S/Lt Gilbert

Hi
Namur Area, one Do 17 was attacked without effect by french from II/6, diverses He111 was attacked too, one Ms406 has problem :S/Lt Joseph Riss).
During the return to the base, one first battle with German's 109, quickly stopped by a new group formed by 9 germans Jägers :I./JG3 & I./JG77.
It's impossible for the frenchs, some planes can found security in clouds, 3 was shooting down, only the S-LT Francis Gilbert was Pow ...
(The Ms 406 was now loss on Dinant area, Lt Helmur Rau from Stab I./JG3 claim one 406 during one battle with 7/8 MS, and Sergent Karl-Heinz Wilhem 3./JG77 claim two 406 on Dinant )

Bad translate by me from very excellent source :
Les victoires de l'aviation de chasse française 10.05.40 to 15.05.40
by Arnaud Gillet ISBN 2-9514552-3-2
Best regards, Dan
