Re: Armee De l'Air Losses
According to Blitzkrieg-Legende, by Frieser the loss figures are:
Luftwaffe
1236 (+ 323 damaged)
Armée de l'Air
892
Royal Air Force
1029
Although limited one should add the figures of the Dutch and Belgian AFs too.
Dutch figures from De Luchtverdediging in de meidagen 1940, by Molenaar:
ML
34 ground
43 combat
17 operational
----
94 total lost (of 139 operational a/c)
Luftwaffe losses against Holland
231 100%
+42 >60%
+55 <60%
note the majority of Luftwaffe losses against Holland were Ju 52s
I have no figures for the Belgian AF, at least that I know of.
