French losses on 12.05.40

Hi everyone,


I have a next question regarding French losses in May 1940.
Please help me with following German claims:
- 12.05.40 I/JG20 at 18.55 Potez 63 S.E.Antwerp
- 12.05.40 II/JG51 at 17.15 Mureaux E.Zabern
- 12.05.40 III/JG53 at 19.10 Potez 63 south of Metz
Any idea about French units, pilots and serials?

TIA

Robert

Hi Stephane,


once more thanks a lot.
Yet another question about 12.05.40
- did any French fighter unit lose aircraft in the vicinity of Tirlemont afternoon (14-16) or in the morning over Belgium?

Regards

Robert

Hi Robert,

The unit of this plane was GR I/35.

Several French fighters crashed in Belgium on 12/05/1940 ....
Do you happen to know the type ?

Best regards
