I have a question on MS 410s but opened a new thread for that question.

Hello Juha,

I hope it was helpfull, but let me add something :
Those numbers (rounded) are those from the French archives. But, they have to be cross-checked as with other data. We found discrepancies with other findings. They have to be carefully used as the situation on 20th July 1940 is somewhat inacurate and very difficult to fix.
We didn't do it for the MS.406 at this point and, there is a good possibility that some data are just wrong. But it's the best source I had to show my point (beside the H-75 about which the work is already done by Lionel Persyn, so I won't post the data here).

Regards,
Olivier Bacca.
