Rows of parked aircraft and a high-winged monoplane

Dozens of single-engined aircraft stand close together on the grass of a large airfield, many with striped rudders, a row of hangars along the horizon; a man in a dark uniform and cap climbs up beside the cockpit of a high-winged monoplane with a radial engine and a braced undercarriage. The nationality of the aircraft is not legible; the older catalogue calls them German. In 1939–1940 the French air force was inferior to the Luftwaffe in numbers and in modern aircraft.
