Re: Vichy French DB-7 a/c post "Torch"

Alex,

I have often wondered about those 16 "Belgian" DB-7's, either ordered directly or diverted from a French batch as quite many websites appear to be certain about.
Perhaps in deep cellars a document can be traced that points in this direction but on the other hand, nothing official seems to have come forward so far that can confirm this Belgian involvement.

Regards,

Leendert

There's no such thing as "Belgian DB-7s". The same hoax as the "Belgian Buffaloes".

DB-7s were used against the Allies in Northern Africa.

You'll have a fair summary on the DB-7 in issues #41 and 42 of Aéro-Journal (in French), still available from our webwite.

So by which country the Buffaloes unloaded by the Béarn in Martinique were intended to be used ? Netherlands ?
