  5. 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. 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

  9. 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

  10. Bloch MB.133 French Bomber Prototype
    The Bloch MB.133 was a French bomber prototype based on the MB.131. It introduced a twin tail, and was powered by Hispano-Suiza 14 Aa radial engines. It proved inferior to more modern aircraft. It was converted to the MB 131 standard and handed over to the Air Force.
