French Air Force victories 10/05/1940

[Pieter H]

Hi Luc,

I have an estimated 18 He-111's shot down/crashed in Belgium and Luxemburg on May 10. In many cases it is difficult to ascertain the cause and/or identity. On May 10 the activities of the Armee de l'Air over Belgium were still minimal, so most of the planes that crashed in the south of Belgium were shot/hit over the north of France. The following crashes seem to be caused by french fighters:
1. He-111 of 3./KG1 at Leugnies-Grandieu (close to the french border) by Moranes of GC III/2
2. He-111 of 3./KG27 at Ingelmunster due to Moranes of GC III/3
3. He-111 of 3./KG27 at Venniaux idem
4. He-111 of St.II/KG27 south of Gent due to GC III/1
5. He-111 of 7./KG53 at Ell (Luxemburg) due to Hawks GC I/4
6. He-111 of 8./KG54 at Merendree due to Moranes GC III/1
7. possibly a 2nd machine of the same unit.

Any additions would be nice.
Regards,

Pieter
