The rise and fall of the French Air Force : French air operations and strategy 1900-1940

Baughen, Greg2018
Books
Why did the French lose in 1940? Were their aircraft inferior? Were there stockpiles of unused planes? Was defeat inevitable? Greg Baughen separates the facts from the myths. He describes the problems the French faced, the operations they flew and how, even with the available resources, defeat might have been avoided.
