From what I have read guys, there was only the one prototype Bloch 157, and it was in luftwaffe markings.

Now if I am remembering right, there was a Bloch 152 and 155 (?) that actually went into production, and had the original French markings. But these were much earlier designs that wouldn't be as capable as the 157, nor competitive in our arena.

The reason I picked the 157 is that its the one French designes and built aircraft that I could think of that could compete in our arena. This plane had alot of potential, but the Luftwaffe wasn't interested in it, probably becuase it was a French design.

No disrespect was intended to our French pilots, I was thinking of it purely out of its engineering and aerial potential.

Right here:  GC III/2 "Alsace" Sqn 341 Free French

They are great pilots and nice guys too.  If you want to represent Free French pilots in a historical squadron, this is the best choice.
