18/5/40 - Meaux-Esbly airfield, home of GC1/3, is bombed by 3 Do17 around midday. The protection patrol (Capitaine Pape, Schneider and Sergent Bouffier), alerted, shoot down one of the German near Chateau-Thierry. Sgt Bouffier (Dewoitine 520 n° 108), endommaged by defensive fire near Eloup, end the fight in a tree, safe, a/c wo and get victory homologation with Capitaine Schneider.
