GCI/4 losses on 11.05.40

Hi everyone,


on 11.05.40 JG26 fought twice with Curtiss from GCI/4. The German claimed alltogether 7 (5+2) Curtiss shot down. Anyone could tell me how many French planes were lost in reality?

TIA

Robert

Cool Re: GCI/4 losses on 11.05.40

It seems there were 4 Curtiss lost during the dogfight. One more lost when bellylanding but on Mardyck A/F.

Hope this could helps.
