Re: Gabriel Barbé of AC5 or 5AC

Since Aeronautique Navale did not have any official system for counting claims I don't know if we should follow the system used by Adl'A or not.

In total (up to and including 15 June 1940) pilots from AC1, AC2, AC3 and F1C claimed 9 certain, 5 probables and 3 damaged aircraft. However since there were on two occasions more than one pilot making the claims, you could also arrive to 11 certain claims, 5 probable claims and 3 damaged claims.

Of course the claim by Cours de chasse is additional. As stated the unit was formed on 20 June, so regardless if they made a claim on the 17th or 19th it was not made under any AC5 flag.

If you send me your e-mail I will scan the page I have with full details given by Morareau.

Cheers
Stig
