What was the makeup and size of the French Air Force at the time of the German invasion? What was their front line fighter at the time? Any photos?

You might find this link to an article from the USAF Historical folks at Maxwell of interest:

also this link has some interesting tabular data on French aircraft strengths at the time but I don't know about the source or accuracy of the data - not questioning it just commenting:

Hope that is some help.
