Curtiss H-75A-2 No. 130 (U030), 2e Escadrille GC I/5, Georges Tesseraud, Rabat, 1942

One of the most distinctive schemes worn by French Curtisses in Vichy service. On 9 November 1942, during Operation Torch, Georges Tesseraud’s aircraft took part in combat against F4F-4 Wildcats of VF-9. It was most probably attacked from above by Ens. Louis A. Menard. His gunfire struck the cockpit area and rear fuselage, seriously wounding the French pilot. Tesseraud nevertheless managed to disengage in the damaged aircraft and make a forced landing near Bouhat.
