Victories of French fighter force during Phoney War

I've read that a number of confirmed victories ranging between 75 and 80 had been credited to the French Air Force fighter pilots in the period of the Phoney War ( 3 September 1939 - 9 May 1940).
Does anyone know, how many of them are corroborated by real Luftwaffe losses ?
Does exist a statistical summary on this campaign like those present in the last pages of the books of Arnaud Gillet on the Battle of France?

I hold (and have read) the wonderful book of Ehrengardt-Foreman-Shores-Weiss-Olsen on the matter, but don't want to go through its 350 pages to make my own totals.

Anyone could help?

Ludovico

Dear Mars,
thank you for your kind suggestion.
I already have this one and is really a great book, well worth the money.
The detailed list of losses, inside it, starts indeed from 2 September 1939 (page 90) and lasts, approximately eighty pages after (p. 171),on nine may. There are comprehensive tables at the end of the book, but not the info I'm looking for, quickly available.

Hi Ludovico

I have a list prepared by Paul Martin back in 1990. Gives you half your request, even though I have never tried to verify it.
Have sent you a seperate e-mail with two scanned pages.
Hopefully it is at least a start...

Cheers
Stig
