Next Moves in the 'Phoney War' - The Morane Saulnier’s Ongoing Struggle

Explore the gripping aerial battles of the Morane-Saulnier M.S. 406 during the early months of World War II’s so-called “Phoney War.” After the initial clash introduced in our previous video, this episode continues the story of France’s primary domestically produced modern fighter as it faces off against the Luftwaffe’s dreaded Bf 109s.
Discover how this underdog aircraft and its pilots held their ground against superior German fighters, including detailed accounts of dogfights, daring reconnaissance missions, and the pilots’ remarkable bravery. From the intense September and November encounters to tales of captured enemy aircraft and emerging French aces, this video sheds light on a lesser-known chapter of the air war over Europe.
