En matière d'aviation les français avaient quand-même du retard...

Britanniques, français, et allemands.
magnifique video en tant que français je sui fier de ce que nos pilotes de l'époque on reussit et ce toujour en inférioriter numérique simple exemple lieutenant pierre le gloan sur d520 seul face à 12 fiat cr.42 il rentre avec 5 victoire à son actif c'est une performance exeptionel et nos pilotes en ont fait de nombreuses puisse t'il vivre pour toujour dans nos mémoire et vive la france!!!!!
Anglais, pour que je ne peux pas dire tous au francais...
I have read a book about Finnish MS.406 ace, and there it was said that MS was a moderately good fighter, but it had many issues as well. It was difficult, at times even impossible, to maintain. The weaponry was hard to use because the cannon expended all the ammo in three seconds and the machine guns alone were too weak to damage an armored Soviet plane. The plane was agile, but it was becoming slow too.
Definitely true. The MS was out-dated before it was in use. Fortunely there was no flying panzer such as IL2 over France, but only german fighter - and these could be damaged by the weak weaponery of the 406. Anyway, it was much too slow. Hence the huge bravery of fighters flying it ;-)
An experienced pilot related the Morane was free of vices.He noted however- with the plane-he found it difficult to catch the Me-109 nor was its sufficiently armed to easily bring it down. Nevertheless pilots managed to score kills with the Morane. The Deoitines were superior aircraft but lacking in numbers to make a contribution. The Morane and Bloch fighters were left to carry the brunt o the Luftwaffe assault and they performed valiantly.
Ce sont des avions "plugins" freeware qui sont apparus en 2007-2008 quand IL2-1946 a ouvert son code. Je ne me souviens plus de la source exacte, mais cherche sur les forums "check-six", tu trouveras tout ça.
And I suggest you watch again and notice there's no 520 involved here ;-) The first 520 was delivered In the late 1942 to RAAF and FFL were NEVER delivered but for a couple of HAWKS. There is no exemple of 520vs109 over European territory, only over North Africa.
Start and end texts are "musicalized" (?) with the main track from "The Last Mohican", and music of the fight is part of a wondefull unkown Irish band of very young people who are name "Slainthe Mhath". I strongly recommend to anyone who loves Irish semi-modern music to buy and hear their 2 album. It's really GREAT.
mikerama they didn't have a chance in hell that video just give hommage to the 140 pilote that didn't care about there odds and die trying flying that plane.
there fight action never were recognized
but by the 100 of german they shoot down
please have some level of respect for there bravery.....

@Rostokouban If you mean the game IL2 Forgotten Battlefields you can't fly the Morane in the game.

You're right algrace11. That's dedicated to pilots who died here, no to French pilots who died here.
let's just not forget that the French ones where not fighting equal to equal, facing a much stronger adversary.

Oui, il faut se souvenir du sacrifice des valeureux pilotes de l'Armée de l'Air.
Les pertes qu'ils infligèrent à la Luftwaffe empéchèrent cette dernière de remporter la Bataille d'Angleterre faute de pilotes en nombre suffisant.
A la chasse bordel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
