First French air loss in Vietnam
Does anyone know what is considered the first French aircraft lost in the First Indochina War (1945 onward)?
Thanks very much in advance.
Cheers

First French Loss
G'day
The first combat related loss by the French occurred on the 19th of January, 1950. It was a Bell P-63C of G.C. 2/5. The aircraft was shot down during a mission against Thai-ngyuen.

Thanks for the replies.
The Viet Minh claim a French aircraft in 1946. Is this plausible?
If so, what is it likely to be? I believe that the French were operating ex-Japanese aircraft in 1946. Any clue to what went on in 1946?
