•b FLIGHT, June 20, 1940 GETTING TOGETHER 'T^HESE new pictures, specially taken X in France for Flight, show that the co-operation between the Royal Air Force and L' Armee de V Air has more than a purely military signifi- cance. Many a valued friendship has grown out of visits by our machines to French aerodromes and vice versa, and great is the rivalry between British and French fighter squadrons as to the number of enemy aircraft brought down. Of late there has not been so much time for the exchange of courtesies, but in the earlier days of the war the French fighter pilots considered that one of the finer features of the Curtiss H75-C1 was its spacious luggage locker, which enabled them to slip over to a neighbour- ing aerodrome with a bottle or two to celebrate a victory.

(Left) British and French officers compare notes in the operations room. Below is a morning gathering round a Battle.
