Re: MB-131 planes in May-June 1940

Robert,

On May 10 no MB-131's were operational anymore, at least on French soil. One unit in northern Africa (GR I/61) still used it operationally, but this one was not engaged operationally. Others were used by training schools in the south of France, and were probably not on airfields overrun by the advancing Wehrmacht.
After the Armistice some MB-131's served in the Vichy air force to pull drones for shooting practice.
I have not seen pictures of captured aircraft.

Regards, Pieter
