The Farman F.390 series were versions of the F.190 five-seat transport. We believe that the small low-wing monoplane coded 9 is the sole Farman F.357, F-AMGU - a member of the F.230 family powered by a Renault 4P engine. Detail of photo 813004. Photo from: Bibliothèque nationale de France - Gallica

The Phalène (moth) looks good and indeed, it was built in considerable numbers. F-AMSL was the first aircraft of the Aéro-Club de Philippeville (Skikda) in Algeria, owned by Paul Planchat. Later it was with the aero club of Constantine, also in Algeria. Detail of photo 813004, of fine quality thanks to a huge scan at the French national library.

There was no Paris Air Show in 1933 presumably due to the Depression, but some aircraft were on display at the first 'Salon de la qualité française'. The F.402 was a three-seater powered by a five-cylinder Lorraine 5PB radial. F-AMRT was registered to the Marcel Lallouette aero club, Paris. We made detail views of Farman F.391 F-AMTE, also enlarging the Farman F.371 low-wing monoplane F-AMGU, and of Caudron C.282/8 Phalène F-AMSL. Photo from: Bibliothèque nationale de France - Gallica

While the French industry was struggling to recover, the British could show state-of-the-art war machines at the 1946 Salon. VB857 was a Sea Fury prototype begun by Boulton-Paul, but with the end of the war in sight, Sea Fury production at Boulton-Paul was cancelled and VB857 was completed by Hawker. Of the two Gloster Meteor F.4s, the rear one with the long-span wing is EE549, then holder of the official absolute world speed record at 991 km/h (616 mph).

The MS.560 was a single-seat aerobatic trainer first flown on 1 September 1945. This prototype had a 75-hp Train engine and a retractable tricycle undercarriage. Also F-WBBB. On the right, F-BBGB is an MS.571, developed from the MS.560 through the two-seat MS.570 and having room for a third seat or bench in the back. Only prototypes of these aircraft plus a few more MS.571s were built. On the left is an early MS.472 Vanneau. Photo from: Bibliothèque nationale de France - Gallica

Two-seat reconnaissance fighter built of an aluminium-iron alloy called Alferium. One liquid-cooled Hispano-Suiza 12Hb engine of 500 hp, maximum speed given as 240 km/h (150 mph). The sole prototype gave a 'pretty impressive display' at Villacoublay in September 1927 but the French air force dropped its requirement for such an aircraft.

Plenty of interest - from the general public - for the prototype of the stylish but ill-fated F.25 air taxi. It had first flown one month earlier. Sales were handled by Frits Diepen's organisation. Top left is a SUC-10 Courlis, a similar aircraft. Below that is a model of the Fokker F.26 Phantom jetliner design. On the panel behind the F.25 there are photos of Fokker's late 1930s combat aircraft. The panel on the right introduces the S.11 trainer, which first flew in December 1947.

Lioré et Olivier stand. LeO were the French agents for the C.30 autogyro and were to build 25 examples with the designation LeO C.301. Another C.30 was displayed here by Avro. G-ACWG was already sold 'to France' in September 1934 but was not registered as F-AOHY until 1936. The large passenger flying boat is a LeO H-242.

The second prototype of the Espadon (swordfish) jet fighter, seen on display here well before its first flight on 16 September 1949. The small aft ventral air intake turned out to be ineffective. Other intake arrangements were tested, but the Espadon failed to qualify for operational service. Fitted with an auxiliary rocket motor, the third prototype F-WFRG exceeded Mach 1 in level flight in 1953. Photo by: Dmitri Kessel / Life

The second prototype of the Espadon (swordfish) jet fighter, seen on display here well before its first flight on 16 September 1949. The small aft ventral air intake turned out to be ineffective. Other intake arrangements were tested, but the Espadon failed to qualify for operational service. Fitted with an auxiliary rocket motor, the third prototype F-WFRG exceeded Mach 1 in level flight in 1953. Photo by: Dmitri Kessel / Life

The Vanneau trainer shows its kinship to the MS.406 fighter. The Aéronavale got 70 carrier-capable Vanneau IV aircraft. Bottom right is the MS.701 Pétrel F-WFDE with ambulance markings. F-WFDK is the Sud-Ouest M2 experimental jet, fitted here with a flush cockpit canopy.

The Norazur salespeople at the 1949 Salon presumably had a quiet time. Sources are not sure if a second prototype, the N.2101 with Béarn 6 engines, was built, but apparently it was - this does not seem to be a mock-up. See photo 446955 of the Dassault Ouragan for a frontal view. The N.2100, F-WFAB, took part in the flying show at Orly, wearing show number 18. Photo by: Dmitri Kessel / Life

To research the SO.4000 jet bomber, Sud-Ouest built the M1 glider and the M2, powered by a Derwent engine. It first flew on 13 April 1949, just before the 1949 Salon. This is probably the real thing, but it is doubtful if it was flown with the flush cockpit canopy seen here. Its outrigger wheels are not fitted. Also see photo 449819.

The second of three MS.700 Pétrel aircraft at the 1949 Paris Salon. Apparently it is already to MS.701 standard here with Mathis G8-20, rather than Potez engines. The sign describes it as a 'colonial' light twin - not very woke! Photo 449819 shows the tail of this plane and ambulance markings. It made a tour of Africa in 1950. The small sign promises that the MS.700 prototype was to appear in the flying show at Orly on 14 May. The third airframe, flown in 1951, was the MS.703 with six, rather than four seats.

Most of the French aircraft at the 1949 Paris Air Show were unsuccessful, and it will not come as a surprise that this was true for the Nord 2100 Norazur transport with pusher engines. Marcel Dassault's Ouragan worked, however, and spawned a long lineage of jet fighters. Prototype 02 first flew in May 1949 - after the show. Photo by: Dmitri Kessel / Life

Named after the seaside resort in Normandy, the Deauville first flew in 1947 as the SO.7050 with nosewheel landing gear. The second machine was the SO.7055 with tailwheel. By 1949, both had been converted to SO.7060 taildraggers. Prototype 01, F-WDVZ, took part in the flying show of the 1949 Salon at Orly. This static exhibit is the second airframe, F-WEAA, which became F-BEAA later in 1949. The c/n on the tailfin is confirmed as 02 on another picture. Photo by: Dmitri Kessel / Life
