F-AMBV made its first flight on 11-Feb-1932. As "Arc-en-Ciel" it became famous as the first landplane to cross the South Atlantic on a flight Paris - Buenos Aires, starting on 07-Jan-1933. In May-1934 it was converted to Couzinet 71. It flew first with Aéropostale and later with Air France. Already withdrawn from use in 1937, it was destroyed in its hangar by fire in 1940 during World War II. Only the rudder remains.
