French AF fighter types during the Battle of France
Can anyone say which was the more successful fighter type used by the French air force in 1939/40?
Well the answer is likely to be the the Dewoitine D.520, but I was actually hoping for a broader comparisson. How did the Morane Saulnier MS 405/6, Curtiss H-75As and Marcel Bloch MB 150/151/152 do in comparison? Numbers operational, units flying the type, duration of operations, number of sorties, claims, losses. Is there a source which readily gives these types of statistics? A number of values can be found in Michelet's publication, but not all of them. Perhaps there is a French specialist who has some ready figures?
