  1. The Arado Ar 234 V6 was the first four-engine prototype of the Ar 234. It used four BMW 003 turbojets in separate nacelles under the wings. It still used the take off trolly and landing skid. destinationsjourney.com/histor #aviation #aeroplane #Aircraft #airplane #AradoAr234 #bomber #Luftwaffe #reconnaissance #SecondWorldWar #WorldWarTwo #WW2

  2. The Sukhoi Su-15 was an early Soviet jet fighter prototype developed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau in the immediate post-war period. It must be distinguished from the later supersonic interceptor that shared the same designation. destinationsjourney.com/histor #SukhoiSu15 #aeroplane #Aircraft #airplane #aviation #fighter #jet #Sukhoi

  3. The Sukhoi Su-7 (1944) was a high-altitude interceptor prototype, derived from the Su-6 ground-attack aircraft. The Su-7 was a mixed-power aircraft, with a Shvetsov ASh-82FN piston engine with two TK-3 turbochargers in the nose and a Glushko RD-1-KhZ rocket engine in the tail. This mixed power approach was intended to solve the problem of intercepting fast, high-flying bombers destinationsjourney.com/histor #aeroplane #Aircraft #airplane #aviation #fighter #jet #Sukhoi #SukhoiSu7

  4. First flying on 28 December 1933, the Loire 70 was a long-range maritime reconnaissance flying boat designed for the French Navy. Seven production aircraft were ordered and along with the prototype served with Escadrille E7 at Karouba in Tunisia. An Italian air raid destroyed 3 of the 4 surviving aircraft. destinationsjourney.com/histor #aeroplane #Aircraft #airplane #aviation #FlyingBoat #FrenchAirForce #Loire70 #SecondWorldWar #WorldWarTwo #WW2

  6. When Germany invaded Poland in September 1939, many experienced Polish airmen escaped through Romania to France, determined to continue the fight against the Axis powers. Among the aircraft types they flew in combat during the Battle of France, was the Morane-Saulnier M.S.406, France’s principal fighter at the outbreak of World War II. destinationsjourney.com/histor #aeroplane #Aircraft #airplane #aviation #fighter #MoraneSaulnierMS406 #PolishAirForce #SecondWorldWar #WorldWarTwo #WW2

  7. Bloch MB.177 French Bomber
    To enable the use of Hispano-Suiza 12Y31 engines on the MB.174 airframe, the MB.177 incorporated redesigned engine mounts. The engines proved to be underpowered. The sole example was captured by German forces and taken to Rechlin for evaluation. destinationsjourney.com/histor #ReconnaissanceBomber #aerialwarfare #aeroplane #Aircraft #airplane #ArmeeDeLair #aviation #BlochMB177 #bomber #FrenchAirForce #Military #SecondWorldWar #warfare #WorldWartwo #WW2 #WWII

  8. Bloch MB.210 in German Service
    Following the German occupation of France, a number of MB.210 aircraft were operated briefly by the Luftwaffe for training. A small number were operated by Bulgaria and Romania, with Spain also receiving three aircraft. destinationsjourney.com/histor #aerialwarfare #aeroplane #Aircraft #airplane #ArmeeDeLair #aviation #BlochMB210 #bomber #FrenchAirForce #Military #Luftwaffe #SecondWorldWar #warfare #WorldWartwo #WW2 #WWII

  9. Bloch MB.480 Floatplane
    Designed as a twin-engined torpedo-bomber/reconnaissance floatplane for the French Navy, the Bloch MB.480 first flew in June 1939. Although testing was successfully completed, the Navy had decided to use landplanes for its intended role.

  10. The Bloch MB.135 bomber made its maiden flight on 12 January 1939 A development of the Bloch MB.131 it was designed as a medium bomber for the French Air Force Despite promising performance, it was not entered into production as it did not represent a sufficient improvement of existing bombers destinationsjourney.com/histor #aerialwarfare #aeroplane #Aircraft #airplane #aviation #BlochMB135 #bomber #FrenchAirForce #Military #plane #reconnaissanceaircraft #warfare #Luftwaffe #WorldWarTwo #SecondWorldWar

  11. The Bloch MB.134 bomber made its maiden flight on 22 July 1939. A landing accident on 21 April 1940 resulted in seriously damage when a landing gear strut collapsed following the in-flight failure of a hydraulic fluid reservoir. With the fall of France it was not repaired and no further development took place.#aerialwarfare #aeroplane #Aircraft #airplane #aviation #BlochMB134 #bomber #FrenchAirForce #Military #plane #reconnaissanceaircraft #warfare #Luftwaffe #WorldWarTwo #SecondWorldWar
