Vichy Airforce inOperation Torch

[Witold K.]

Good afternoon
I'm looking for the details of Vichy Bloch 175 shot down by FAA Martlet on 06 November 1942 off Cap Kramis, Algieria.
All the best

TOCH member Andrew Arthy's your guy for Operation Torch. I think he wrote a university thesis about it.

That was probably No 117 of GR II/52 flown by Ltn Mauri with crew Adj Labrilt and Sgt chef Maillot.
They all vanished into the sea.
Shot down by two Martlets from No 888 Sq led by Lt Jeram.
