This very nice and unique veteran was part of French Air Force in 1940 assigned to GC I/5 and II/ 5. She was credited of 2 victories on german aircraft in May 1940. H -75 No.82 was saved from scrapping in the 1950's and was placed in storage in France until acquired by The Fighter Collection in 1995. Completely restored in USA and UK, she flew again in 2005. Definitely a piece of History! This photo is copyright © T.Laurent, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
