"The Luftwaffe virtually destroyed the Armée de l'Air during the campaign and inflicted heavy losses on the RAF contingent that was deployed. It is estimated the French lost 1,274 aircraft during the campaign, the British suffered losses of 959 (477 fighters).
[82] The battle for France had cost the Luftwaffe 28% of its front line strength, some 1,428 aircraft destroyed (1,129 to enemy action, 299 in accidents). A further 488 were damaged (225 to enemy action, 263 in accidents), making a total of 36% of the Luftwaffe strength negatively affected.

**Note I could seperate German lossed brought down by AAA or by the RAF. So total combined includes everything. I dont think AAA counted for much because allied AAA wasnt much in 1940 though the RAF certain got a chuck of the total.
My Great-Uncle (who passed away last summer sadly at 87 years old) was a gunner/photographer on board a Potez 25 Reconnaissance Plane during the entire 1940 war. He used patrol over the German border during the "Phoney War", he said the Germans were good but no better than they or the RAF.
He also was rather greatful toward German flyers, as one time his reconnassaince plane got "lost" over Germany and two 109s actually escorted him and his pilot back over the border -without shooting them down. It was a very strange part of the war.
About the Dewoitine 520. When the Battle of France started the French actually had about 275 Dewoitines. Unfortunatly all but 75 were really at the front because as luck would have it the others are been recalled back to the factory to recieve a minor refit. The Dewoitine was slightly inferior to the Emil but not by much, it was about 30MPH slower. However the Dewoitine was more menuverable and better armed that the Emil (4x 7.5mm MG + 1x20mm Cannon vs 2x 7.7mm and 2x 20mm machine cannon. It was faster than the Hurricane MKI, but slower that the Spitfire MKI.
Still the Dewoitine was able to claim 108 kills before France capituated.
