Yet another French aircraft of the interwar period that appears to have been designed with nothing but a straight-edge ruler. The French designers of that period don't appear to have been much interested in curved lines, let along the principals of aerodynamic streamlining.

The Sedan bridge raid was an unmitigated disaster. These planes were so typical of the monstrosities built by the French prior and at the begining of WWII. They continued to serve with the Vichy goverment and were later used by the allies as transports in North Africa up to and including 1944 after the French changed sides again.
