A 1930's French prototype fighter a Bernard 74 for Fs9

I was also talking about people.The historical facts are proven. Several departments were occupied during the 1st world war (except Moselle and Alsace which come under the war of 1870): Pas de Calais (62), Nord (59), Somme (80), Aisne (02) etc. with 50% of the population which could not be evacuated, withdrawn to the south of the combat zone. I know that this is not the place for this type of discussion here, but objectively, as French, I cannot help reacting to untruths, moreover issued by a French. My dear compatriot could do a web search with the keywords "occupation France 1914-1918"
As far as I know, there were no destructions in Germany during this war, and the population did not have to suffer from abuse from Allied troops such as those suffered by part of the population of the cited departments. I'm old enough to have known family members who have experienced this in "Pas de Calais". I won't discuss it any further.
Beyond that, I am quite happy to see that I am not the only one interested in French aviation of the 1930s and this Bernard is a very good achievement.

Good evening, "compatriot" gastonj. Please, I have not denied the facts you are reporting. And I know them. Reread well. Because everyone can read me too.

Regards,

Nice conclusion of your discussion Frederic, the next post about the aftermath of the great war will be removed.

Cheers,

Yes, I have it too. Here over the Lake of Hourtin, where it flew for the first time. But due to engine problems it couldn't participate at Schneider Cup, even if it was developed for this particular purpose.
