Wikipedia is not a source. It is a reference for sources. It is far better than your "source", because it uses many sources. Also, you and I both know you didn't open a book and manually search for the info and then type it out. So what was your real internet source?
Obviously your source is wrong. If you read the wiki, you'd know why: "In early June 1940, the French aviation industry was producing a considerable number of aircraft, with an estimated reserve of nearly 2,000 but a chronic lack of spare parts crippled this fleet. Only about 599 (29 per cent) were serviceable"
Your source counted unservicable old broken down French aircraft. Only actually deployed and operational aircraft count, not rusted old broken down ones that sat in a junkyard somewhere.

And did you actually verify that the citation was correct?
Wikipedia is not a source. It is a reference for sources
That would make sense if you actually looked up the original sources, rather than copy-pasting what some anon wrote on Wikipedia.
Also, you and I both know you didn't open a book and manually search for the info and then type it out. So what was your real internet source?
I actually did, I remembered that the stats were in that book. It's an ebook, so searching was fairly easy.

ROFL! THE WIKI SAYS THAT YOUR BOOK IS WRONG, BERK!

Except that your number for German airplanes also counted those that were never deployed.
