French Anti Ship Bombing 1939-40
Any experts here on the French air force of 1940? I am trying to understand the anti ship capability of the Armie de Air. Remarks about a small torpedo equipped air group have surfaced, but no documentation or details. More important I understand the training for low level attacks on ground targets was common. However I lack details on this technique. If it was practiced then it would have siginificant utility against ships as the sucessfull USAAF "Skip Bombing" or the German "Swedish Turnip" techiniques depended on vary low level approach to the target ship.
Thanks for any information or leads to sources |
