Curtiss H-75A1
Hi,
There are two interesting pictures of Curtiss H-75A1 N°7 on the pages 83 and 93 in French book "Les Curtiss H-75" by Lionel Persyn. The N°7 was used by 1st Escadrille of the GC I/5 from 1939 till 18 May 1940 when Sgt Muselli c/l it after fight with He 111s.
There is not visible code (number) of this machine in the disc on rear for me. Does anyone help me with reply regarding:
1) The code ? I believe the code was applicated because of a long using this aircraft, in pre-war era too. I know there were machines of the GC I/5 which didnīt have the code in disc but they were mainly from new series and assigned / used in late May or early June.
2) The disc ? GC I/5 painted it in orange colour during Blitzkrieg (and later) but in blue one in autumn. Do we know when the colour was officialy changed ?
Any comments much appreciated.
Regards,
Michal
