Report from France 1939 to 1940
Hello everyone! I will use a translator so that I can explain myself clearly.
![]() ![]() On the first lines, we learned that a combined French-English Air Force headquarters was created as early as August 1939. Do you have the names of the generals? Who was the commander-in-chief of this headquarters? French or English? thnx! |

Leendert thank's
https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/i...ject/205211866 And hello, I don't think so. Gamelin was the commander-in-chief of the ground forces. So, with Lord Gort, yes, he couldn't manage the air force. Vuillemin, yes, he was the commander-in-chief of the French air force. And since I was also able to find information, Barrat commanded the BAF. BEF for Lord Gort, and the BAF for Air Marshal Barrat! |
