Re: Fighter losses in May 1940 : RAF losses, Armée de l’Air losses

Sorry I forgot to add the 4 (four) Hs 126s shot down by GC III/7 even if a French "historian" who is just nuts, and Peter Cornwell, relying on him, believe that they misidentified 3 "Battles" and 1 LeO 45 for Hs 126s.

See details here at TOCH, Luftwaffe forum:

Here is the modified loss and victory list (French fighters) taking these 4 actual victories into account:
