Hello Guys

I go out from my cavern of silence to explain some little things.

I was very pleased when in 2003 the first opus of the: Victoires de l'aviation de chasse française of Arnaud Gillet was printed out. The search was serious maybe to serious because the reading was little hermetic. But it a good thing that book exist...

I was very surprised to read in this book for the 14th may that some French pilots made 4 mistakes in less 25 minutes to shot 4 Battle that they supposed to be 4 Hs 126.

As I worked ( and I work always) about "Cobber" Kain, "Fanny" Orton (73 Sqn.) and the great Jean Demozay (interpreter at this moment to 1 Sqn) I was very close to the AASF and in particular 67 Wing. So for me, it was normal to call to the author to congratulate for his search and to tell him that I had some documents about this affair...


At the phone, the man was so sure of him, so vain, because he knew a german general , Arnaud did not even ask me for my proofs, I was nothing for him. I stayed some seconds with the telephone in the hand before understanding that he had already hung up...

When the last year I bought the battle of France then & now of Peter Cornwall, I have read the same mistake... unfortunatly.

The first thing to say I have always the proofs.

2/ it was really 4 Hs 126

3/ As said Bernard, that the 4 Battle were shot down between 15.00 & 16.00, the 4 Hs 126 between 12.54 & 13.25

4/ How it can possible for 7 or 8 french pilots to make a so big mistakes an 4 times between Battle and Hs 126

5/ and the best of the best the infos between germans reports and French reports incredible; it the same hour, the same place.

6/ Don't forget some of the units of the Hs 126 were attached to the Heeres and their losses were with them.

My next post I will give the proofs.

Thank you very much and sorry for my bad English.
