On November 25th, 1942 a Soviet-French treaty to create a French fighter squadron in the territory of the USSR was signed. Pilots asked that the squadron would be named “Normandie”. It took part in the battle of Kursk in 1943 and in the offensive in Belorussia in 1944, as well as battles in East Prussia. For its special services during the assault of Niemen the squadron received its respective second name.
During their service 96 French pilots made 5240 operational flights, had 273 confirmed and 36 unconfirmed victories. Four pilots became heroes of the Soviet Union while others also received numerous rewards.

Disappointed you cannot earn the plane or get a discount for it by completing tasks. I miss the old war thunder weekend specials. :(
It's already very cheap, there is no need to have discount for it, especially that it's something new, that was never before available.
All answers (11)Stona_WT, 1700 GE for 3.7 BR plane is cheap? Did I miss something?
We have regular events throughout the year where you can earn free premiums and lots of other free premium content. However this is after all a free to play game and events such as this all help contribute to helping support the game. This is a new and exclusive aircraft for this event.
All answers (1)Smin1080p, Well I for one want to say THANK YOU, The Narval just didn't do it for me but Yaks have always put a smile on my face and handing over those 1700 eagles? I didn't give it a second thought, thanks!
This is a very cool plane and decal , thanks gaijin!
Enjoy!
Stona_WT, Yes, thanks! Finally, a new grinding plane for the French!
The Normandie-Niemen also operated the 2-OP. Tier IV premium when?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
It's gonna be the first Tier VI Premium.
Russians must really hate the French. You stuff their lineup with American planes and then make them buy a Russian plane? Oh and 11.00$ is not cheap for a plane you research free in the Russian line.
France in reality used a significant amount of foreign aircraft, particularly during the wartime and immediate postwar years. The aircraft they have are historical and rightly belong within the tree. People asked for more premium French planes and as such, it was the perfect opportunity to tie in this aircraft.
Smin1080p, And still it is a "freebie" in the Russian line and the the F8F-1B is a "freebie" in the American line AND the French line. As to the "foreign" aircraft you neglected the British in this fiasco of a roll out. MAYBE Gaijin will add in the rest of the missing Russian planes like the Yak-1, Yak-3, Yak=7B at no cost. Let's just say it grinds my gears nightly that it looks like Regrinding the American tech tree.
11 dollars is cheap for a limited premium version of an existing plane in an entirely different nation’s tree, seriously Gaijin just gave us up to 500 GE free for making purchases with them in the past. Acting entitled like you are here, serves no purpose here.
All answers (1)*AceArchangel, im not sweating it, while i would like to have seen something other than a copy and paste (basically what it is) its not a bad little thing they added and really im nto complaining
For all the bad clichès about capitulation and retreating France has thanks to it's leadership you really have to respect the french soldiers. I mean: Really? They were even active at the eastern front?? Was there any ww2 theater without french participation???
Our French soldiers were not technically involved in the Pacific War, as far as I know, since French possessions in the Pacific were too far of the main theatre of operation. But they fought the Japanese and the Thai in Indochina (today's Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam).
All answers (3)Kasukaru, Actually, when France surrendered to Germany in 1940, all of her holdings in Indochina were given to Japan. French units there were disarmed and taken prisoner by the Japanese. This area remained in Japanese hands almost 'til the end of WW2. I don't recall hearing of any Free French forces fighting there. Please correct me if I am wrong.
So is this a Russian spitfire situation? Special vehicle that only comes around to be bought once in a while?
Do i become a french closed beta tester when i buy this plane?
french planes are open
*uli030, Not the whole tree
Very curious about that too. If it opens the french tree completely, it’s a definite buy for me.
