Morane's 406 (CC III/3) 12/05/1940 down 3 He 111

Does anyone know how many French planes were involved in this?
And what are the names of the French pilots?
The action took place on 12/05/1940 above Noord-Brabant province, The Netherlands
--------
Unknown number of French Morane's 406 from GC III/3 shoot down three He 111's (3/KGr 126, 9.Fliegerdivision), during or after a raid by the German bombers on the Bath defensive position.
He-111 H6 (4W+AW) crashed near Calfven, on the dirt road between Hoogerheide and Ossendrecht.
One He 111 crashed on the farm of the De Moor family, Doelstraat, Hoogerheide
One He 111 crashed at 'De Duintjes', northwest of Korteven.

Five German airmen are killed; three taken PoW (two of them were wounded).

Strangely enough, on the GC III/3-page on Ciel de Gloire (based on
Aéro-Journal n° 3 : Octobre - Novembre 1998) only one of these crashed bombers is mentioned, claimed near Antwerp (Anvers)
