DFC, pas DSO..

There were I suppose two problems ; ONE, I have been in so many Squadrons ; Nos 341, 602, 486, 274, 56, and 3, that the forms 540 and 541 ’Logs of Claims’ were quite spread out. TWO, the French Air Force - as well as the US 8th Fighter Command, considered aircraft ’probables’ and destroyed ’on the ground’ as victories. This may explain some of the ridiculously inflated claims we found in the press, about me and many American pilots. Not my fault. I tried to rectify often, but to no avail ! Finally, the statement about the the DSO. I am a Chevalier of the Legion d’Honneur, which, as a French national, takes precedence over my DFC, and therefore is worn ’in front’ of it. It is red with a blue tinge - as is the DSO.
