Lined up at Issy-les-Moulineaux, Paris, are Goelands and Simouns for Armee de l'Air training schools, some in camouflage. Presumably in 1939 but more precise details would be welcome. Post-war, Issy became the main Paris heliport. Not having seen it since around 1963, presumably it is now even more hemmed in by buildings.

Dominating the Caudron stand was the C.448-9 Goeland a more powerful, supercharged, version of the twin-engined transport. Only seven were built from scratch. The C.440 Goeland family was a considerable success story, 1,702 being produced in total. In the foreground is C.635 Simoun F-ANXI and to the right C.800 Rainier F-AYOW.

Maryse Hilsz and her mechanic Puillet on her return to Paris 3.2.38 after her Paris - Saigon record flight in Caudron Simoun F-AQDY being greeted by Le Bourget Airport Director Girardot and Col Lepetit of the Air Ministry.
Het Vliegveld: 04.01.38: Maryse Hilsz, who had been missing, has been found 20 miles from Jask. Her aircraft is slightly damaged.
Het Vliegveld: 04.01.38: Maryse Hilsz had taken off at from Istres at 1420 hrs on 19.12.37 in an attempt to break the women's distance record of 3,939 km set by Amelia Earhart in 1932. Flying a Caudron C.620 Simoun c/n 7399.42 F-AQDY loaned to her by the Ministere de I'Air, she met adverse weather conditions and landed at Alexandria, a distance of only 2,600 km from the start. Deciding to continue in an attempt to break Japy's record time to Saigon, she flew on to Basra (20.12.37), Karachi, Allahabad, Calcutta (21.12.37), Akyab, Rangoon (22.12.37) and arrived in Saigon at 0645 on 23.12.37. The flight of 10,150 km had taken 92 hrs 31 min at an average speed of 134 km/h, breaking Japy's 1935 record by 6 hours.
Hilsz made two attempts to start the return journey almost immediately on 23.12.37, but finally left Saigon at 0154 on 31.12.37. After a stop at Akyab the Caudron's undercarriage was damaged at Allahabad but Hilsz continued to Karachi which she left for Basra at 1830 on 01.01.38. That night she flew into a violent thunderstorm and engine failure necessitated a forced landing in the desert 35 km / 20 miles from Jask, Iran. Found two days later by tribesmen, she was taken by camel to Kuhi-Mubarak then on to Jask and the searches commissioned by Air France, the British military authorities in Iraq and the Iranian Government, were stood down.
The Simoun was repaired on site by mechanic Puillet who then remained with Hilsz for the rest of the journey, leaving Jask on 26.01.38 for Baghdad, Damascus, Cairo, Benghazi and Tunis where propeller trouble on 29.01.38 resulted in a four day delay. They left on 02.02.38 routing via Rome, Marseille and Lyon, finally reaching Le Bourget at 1555 on 03.02.38.

THE RECORD HOLDERS, 1949. Point to Point Records [Solo]
* Paris-Hanoi - 18.11.36 Caudron Simoun F-APMS c/n 7516; 50 hr 59.49 min [180.208 km/hr] Andre Japy.
The Caudron Simoun appeared in 1934 following successful Caudron racing aircraft and it had a good performance, cruising at 280 km/hr (174 mph), so it was not surprising that it was used by a number of record breakers. The engine was the Renault 6-cyl inverted in-line 'Bengali six' which produced 220 hp in the 6Q model of the later Simouns. The Paris-Hanoi record was flown solo by Andre Japy in C620 F-APMS. From Hanoi he flew on to Hong Kong and Japan, attempting to reach Tokyo in under 100 hr from Paris, however he crashed on Mt Saburi after 75 hours but survived his injuries.
