In 1940 France was the first major belligerent in World War II (excluding the fall of Poland in 1939). This meant the French Air Force only had a limit in the early war (excluding the later Free French and Vichy French Air Forces). A failure of leadership, a lack of strategic vision, and a failure to operate with other services and allies contributed to the fall of France (and the expulsion of the British from the continent).
