French vs German Aircraft Losses 1940
Am searching for information on the German vs French airforces in May-June 1940. Specifically fighter plane losses on each side. I know there are some good sources on this in the French language, which I am unable to easily obtain. Any refrences in English are appreciated, but I am hoping to locate someone who has studied this subject & who can answer some of my questions.
Thanks & Merci for any answers. |

Sir,
You may find the book,"Battle of France Then and Now," to be useful. It gives a daily breakdown of the losses of all the combatants involved |
