Greek Air Force At invasion

[freefrench]

What planes did the Greek air force have at the time of the Italian invasion?

[Jon G.]

Leo Niehorster's site, specifically this page provides a good starting point.

From the book Air War for Yugoslavia, Greece and Crete by C. Shores and B. Cull and N. Malizia here is the order of battle.

Hope this helps,

Best regards,
