At least until now, I believe the two volumes by Porret and Thevenet can be classified as the official
French view and is unlikely to be corrected.
Unfortunately the official French view is that it was enough to be present when the combat took place
and have a verified claim. That makes things a bit complicated when comparing the French with other
Allies (or enemies at the time)
With regard to the list Michael produced, the "official" French view is - no unsubstantiated claims exist.
The list does not contain a double claim on 1.6.1940.
His claims of 9 aircraft were thus 5 certain and 4 probables.
As with any claims made during the war it is highly unlikely that the French official view will be changed,
certainly not because of discussions made on various forums, regardless how relevant they may seem
to us.
