F-ALAO was a Salmson Limousine, a Salmson 2-A2 converted to have a two-seat enclosed cabin behind the pilot's open cockpit. A two bay biplane, it was powered by a Salmson 9-cyl water-cooled radial engine, either a 230 hp 29 or a 260 hp CM9. A large almost circular rudder was fitted, but no fin.

Morane-Saulnier AI F-ABAO became well-known for its survival in the Musee de I Air: at one time having been owned by Alfred Fronval who was reported to have used it to fly 1,111 consecutive loops in a time of 4 hr 56 min. The slightly-swept back parasol wing has angled tips and balanced ailerons and the circular cowling effectively hides the identity of the engine.

Several of Nungesser's aircraft feature on this page and here he is posed in uniform with one of his Morane AIs. Painted like F-NUNB seen earlier, the last letter is hidden but has a rounded top - C, G, O, Q are accounted for unless re-issued, so could this be F-NUNS?

Farman F.60 Goliath F-FHMY (CoR No.267) named 'Anjou", seen at Le Bourget with another example F-AECU (CoR 820) "Normandie' when both were with Air Union.

S.E.A./Potez VII F-FRAV (CofR 397) was one of the 25 reported to have served with Cie Franco-Roumaine de Navigation Aerienne (CFRA) on European routes. This example is inscribed Avions Henry Potez Type VII on the rudder. Access to the pilot's open cockpit was by means of a ladder attached to the port side of the fuselage.

Breguet 14T showing signs of use. On the rudder, the original service stripes, the 14T designation and c/n 1836 which confirms its identity as F-CMAG (CofR 291) a regn probably used earlier by another Breguet - see also CoR 212.

Retouched from an old newsprint photograph, a good imagination is needed to decide just what sort of aeroplane the Liore et Olivier LeO 41 actually was. If we find out any details, or anyone can supply them, we'll let you know!
