    May 14, 1940 – Brits & French lose 110 aircraft – 70 British Fairey Battles, Bristol Blenheims & 40 French planes on 1 day in a disastrous attempt to bomb bridges over the River Meuse. I was in high school. US had not entered the war yet. @usairforce @VogueParis @ParisMatch #WWII

        In addition to that, the French Air Force shot down close to 800 German planes in May and June 1940. It was a great support for the Brits to win the Battle of Britain in the following months. :-)

        You have to wonder whether the Brits gave names like “Fairey Battle” to their machines in order to promote “A Boy Named Sue” mindset.

        Bonjour The Devoitine was designed to fight at low altitude. France had a war of delay, always in the spirit of the WWI 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

        Attack on German dams carried out on 16–17 May 1943 by Royal Air Force No. 617 Squadron "The Dam Busters", using a purpose-built "bouncing bomb" developed by Barnes Wallis. The Möhne and Edersee dams were breached, causing catastrophic flooding of the Ruhr and Eder valleys

        I am currently writing about the Battle of France and WW2 fighter pilots in one of my sites as an historian over on Facebook. I would love to have you profiled on the site for your story to be shared to a World of fighter pilot enthusiasts.
