Re: Vichy French DB-7 a/c post "Torch"
Hello,
Thank you for the reply C-J, So they fought on in French Squadrons, across the Med and into France. Should be not too hard then to trace their individual fate, if we know their serial numbers. Anyone have any of these these 52 a/c numbers please ? By the way, I found on the www "French DB-7B's, total of 170 but only 61 in service, the rest (109) went to the RAF. Their 170 constructor numbers were 2288 to 2457". Would these be the numbers applied to the Rudder of the French a/c or was there yet another French Air Force Serial number ? Also the number of 61 seems small, were these the only DB-7's in the pre Vichy French Air Force service ? Thanks Alex |
