Help.............anybody here know anything about French
operations with AD-4N SPADs in Algeria and Madasgascar
in the 1960 - 1973 period? Subsequently, they went to
Cambodia, Chad, and Gabon. I need some BuNos.
TIA,
Owen

Thanks, I'm probably in trouble with reading French......
Please see if there is mention of BuNo 126956.
I believe she was operated by the Frence Air Force,
then went to Gabon for a time. Then she disappears
for a while. I'd be grateful for any light you could
shine on the subject.
