Most historians believe the early air strikes against France were not very effective. The German air force attacked 50 French airfields which destroyed only four of them. Sixty French aircraft were damaged and some British, Belgian and Dutch aircraft at those bases were lost.On the second day, German airplanes destroyed three French planes and damaged a few others.

The Germans took heavy losses in these attacks. They lost 21 bombers. So initially, the German air strikes were not effective.
