I only mention the possibility of a mistaken attack on a friendly airfield because it is not premised upon any sort of conspiracy theory. It relies solely on human fallibility rather than any devious plan to manufacture evidence or conceal embarrassing shortcomings. Thus it has greater inherent plausibility than many other suggestions I have seen.
I understand that there is now some sort of published list of daily French casualty reports to review. Has anyone looked through it yet?
Unfortunately the absence of any reported French losses would not resolve the matter. Lack of evidence of a mistaken attack on friendlies would be no different than the present lack of evidence of an attack on a hostile airfield. But if there is some evidence of friendly losses that could explain the absence of any recorded German losses, we would have a different story.
