• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Comme Andre est un grand fana de GC I/5... *

This is the aircraft used during the battle by cne Jean-Mary Accart, OC 1 Sqn GC I/5. He scored 12 confirmed and three probables before being shot down and extremely badly wounded. By the time he had effectively recovered and got back to the Air Force, it was late 1942, and he made his way through Spain to North Africa, where he joined the newly-reconstituted French Air Force.



(*Specially for Andre!)

Thank you so much Nigel. I am very glad to see this plane for me (and the others of course).
Among others I have the book of Capitaine Accart "Chasseurs du ciel", éditions Vario (Fnac).
