Country:  | That's a good point Huckebein, it does mark a good recce plane if your enemy does not know of your operations.
No serious bombing raid happened after the 7th May 1941. They did carry on though, I believe the last one was in November, not including the probing raids made by the Fw-190s in 1942. Which the British Intelligence said was captured French Mohawks

Country: | For a start the Mohawk isn't a French plane. They were bought by the French. Secondly, they weren't using the Mohawk, it was the Fw-190 but when the pilots reported a radial engined aicraft British intelligence said it was the Mohawk, when it was the Fw-190 which they had no clue about.
