  1. As far as I’m concerned, Trump’s just given the Canadian aircraft company “Bombardier” the best publicity it can get! Come the lottery win, I’ve already chosen my personal daily flyer.

  2. The Blohm & Voss Ha 140 was a German multi-purpose seaplane first flown in 1937. It was intended for use as a torpedo bomber or long-range reconnaissance aircraft, but did not enter production.

    Three prototypes were built and the design beat the competing Heinkel He 115. However, by then B&V did not have enough spare capacity and declined the order, which went to Heinkel instead.

  3. 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

  4. PZL.37 Łoś Evaluated by Germany Following the German invasion of Poland in September 1939, a number of PZL.37 Łoś bombers were captured. The limited number captured was partly due to Polish efforts to prevent the Germans from acquiring these aircraft. #PZL37Los #PolishAircraft #Luftwaffe #WW2 #WorldWarTwo #SecondWorldWar #bomber #aviation #aeroplane #airplane #aircraft #military

  5. PZL.37 Łoś in Romanian Service
    26 PZL.37 bombers were withdrawn to Romania after the fall of Poland, and after that seized and used in the 4th Group of the Romanian Airforce consisting of the 76th and 77th bomber escadres. destinationsjourney.com/histor #PZL37Los #polishBomber #RomanianAirForce #aviation #bomber #aircraft #bomberaircraft #aeroplane #WW2 #WorldWar2 #SecondWorldWar

  6. 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

  7. 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

  8. 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.

  9. 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

  10. 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
