Hi Stig

Your remark is relevant,but I quote only the sources that Gillet himself mentions in his book in orders to support his remarks on the events of 17/06.
Only Gillet himself could go deeper into his statements.

I am neutral,and like you,I am wondering!....Wait and see

Hello Chris,

Have you more details of the total claims you mention for "AC3, AC4 & AC5" ?

Lucien Morareau mention 2 victories for AC3, while other sources mention 4. No source mention victories by AC4 and there's the subject of the topic, the eventual victory of AC5. That give a number of possible distributions of victories among these units.

Thanks Chris

If you compare your notes with those of Lucien's where do you differ?

Cheers
Stig

Hi Gentlemen

"I put some oil on the fire"
I have aero-journal n°18:I read it in "length,in broad and across,it's impossible to find an allusion that corroborates the 12 victories according to C.J.Ehrengardt.

But errors:Yes,as the 20/05/40,where five V.156F would have been shot down by III/JG2.....exept that no victories were claimed that day by III/JG2!
......so
