D.520's were only available in limited numbers when the Battle of France began.  It saw action with Vichy France against the British over North Africa and in Syria.

And after the fall of France the

Luftwaffe used them in a training role.

I'm not much of an expert here, but IIRC German ace, Werner Molders, was shot down over France by a D.520 in 1940.  The D.520 could hold its own, but there weren't many occasions where the 109E and the D.520 fought.  D.520's were only available in limited numbers when the Battle of France began.  It saw action with Vichy France against the British over North Africa and in Syria.

They got a bit chewed up in Syria

I have the first volume of this book, but not this one. I wondered if the second volume contains a profile or photo of the D.520 with the older "crossed swords" insignia. I always liked that one very much. I have only seen a rather poor photo of the plane in those colors, but would appreciate knowing more details about it.

 

Thank you,

The only one profile in this old book from 1997 of BG WWII D.520 is wrong.
