French top air victory records of 1940?
I came along an interesting claim of French ace Robert Williame. On 8.6.1940 he and his comrades of GC/I flying Morane 406 had a intense engagement with Bf 109´s near Beauvais. According to French combat report Williame shot down 3 Bf 109 in 15 seconds. His victims are mentioned to be Bf 109 E-3´s belonging to 2./JG 26, 3./JG 26 and 7./JG 3
Is the above true or legend? What German sources say? Another interesting record is the "5 in 1" achievement by the famous Pierre Le Gloan. On 15.6.1940 he during a single sortie shot down 4 Italian CR 42´s and one Fiat BR 20. Is the above true or legend? Do Italian sources confirm it? |
