Re: French Recce over Czechoslovakia 1939/1940

Sorry, I can't put a hand on my archives at the time being.
However, I'm pretty sure these were Farman 222s of GT I/15 and II/15. Not only both units were "specialized" in leaflet droppings during the Phoney War, but Farmans were the only French a/c having the necessary range to fly over Czekoslovakia.
No way Potez 63s could have done it. 637s and 63.11s, though considered as "reconnaissance" a/c by the HQ, were merely observation planes.
