The twin-engined H-24 of 1929 led to the H-241 powered by four Hispano-Suiza 9 inline engines, followed by the H-242 with Gnome-Rhône 7Kd Titan Major radials. Accommodation was for twelve passengers. The H-242/1 entered service with Air France on the Marseille to Algiers route in 1935, making possible travel between Paris and Algiers in nine hours in summer. Another route was Marseille to Tunis via Ajaccio. F-ANPB struck the breakwater at Marseille - Marignane in fog on 2 February 1938 and was a write-off.
