GG

With all resepect to the authors of the books you checked, but maybe they don't make any claim to be complete with regard to day to day battles during the Phoney War?

For the German/French side you need to check books like Prien's Die JFV der Luftwaffe vol 2 and Cornwells Battle of France then and now and also Shores' Fledgling Eagles.

If you do you will get a much more complete picture.

Cheers

Thanks for your respect towards the authors (including me). I
wrote "Morane aces" for Osprey with references to the books that are mentionned here: "Fledgling Eagles" (I am a co-author - French edition: "Les Aiglons"), "Ils étaient là..." (I was the publisher), which much inspired Peter Cornwell to say the least, and also Persyn/Stenman's Osprey and Prien's volume on the PW.
It seems difficult to have a broader picture.
