Yet another of the many interwar French aircraft that seem to have been designed with nothing but a straight-edge ruler. The French designers of that era don't seem to have gone in much for curved lines, let alone the principals of aerodynamic streamlining.

Je confirme que cet appareil était bien surnommé "le cercueil volant"; mon père (bientôt 90 ans) sergent mécanicien de bord s'est crashé le 10 mai 1940 à Istres. Il appartenait au Groupe de Fos; l'élève pilote avait été tué, le pilote et le mécanicien blessé. Cette version était sous motorisé et en virage trop prononcé la nourrice se désamorçait : moteur désalimenté, c'était le crash assuré !
