The Air Yacht was a trimotor airliner first flown by the Bach company from Los Angeles in 1927 or 1928. It had one main and two auxiliary engines, in this case one P&W Hornet and two Comet 7-RAs. Pickwick Stage Lines were a major bus operator in California, and The Pickwick Co tried an airline for a year from March 1929. Its most profitable route turned out to be one bringing gamblers and drinkers to the 'vast and spectacular ' Agua Caliente casino resort near Tiujana, Mexico. Apparently NC302E had an accident in mid-1929 and was lost in a hangar fire at the factory while under repair. Photo from: Ingenium

The secretary can still take some orders while the executives are departing on a business trip from the company airstrip - or at least that's what this staged photo is trying to convey. The aircraft was built by the original manufacturer of the Navion, North American, in 1946. Photo found in archive of Ryan which marketed and built the type from 1947 until abandoning the civilian market in 1951. N91455 still current at least in the 2010s.

The SO.2415 Grognard II differed from the SO.2410 not only in being a two-seater, the wing was also reduced in wing sweep from 47 to 32 degrees. The sole SO.2415, c/n 02, made its first flight on 14 February 1951. Its original civilian reg was F-WFRX. It was heavily damaged in a belly landing on 27 November 1952.

The original Alouette, the SE.3120, was powered by a Salmson piston engine and first flew on 31 July 1951. It was eventually given up in favour of the turbine-powered SE.3130 Alouette II. This is the second of the two prototypes, wearing the Sud-Est logo. The photo was likely taken at Buc near Versailles, where test flying took place, and probably well before the given end date 1957. This is when Sud-Est ceased to exist. Photo from: Sud-Est

TAI operated four Armagnacs for some time, but found that it could not operate these big birds profitably. Up to 160 passengers could be carried, and a high-density layout was probably used on TAI's flights with pilgrims to Mecca. Photo from: National Archives at College Park, Maryland

Fourth Deux-Ponts airframe, probably at Villacoublay. Although wearing an Air France logo, this one was used for military trials, and delivered to the Armée de l'Air in 1954. There is quite some confusion about the early Deux-Ponts. The Br.761 prototype, F-FWAM, was c/n 01. The three Br.761S aircraft were c/n 1, 2 and 3, and not 02, 03 and 04.

Attack aircraft design with two vertically stacked Rolls-Royce Nene engines. What looks like the cockpit here is the dorsal air intake - the type was soon nicknamed Bossu (hunchback). The official name Grognard (grumbler) refers to a soldier of Napoleon's Old Guard. First flight on 30 April 1950. One SE.2410 and one two-seat SE.2415 built. Programme already dead by the time of the 1953 Paris Air Show, terminated in favour of Sud-Ouest SO-4050 Vautour. Note Sud-Est (SNCASE) logo on tail.

The sole N.2002 naval fighter first flew on 16 December 1949. Handling was good, but top speed was only 815 km/h (506 mph). Following a crash, it was rebuilt with a 'lip' above the air intake to house a small radar. In June 1953, the N.2002 'began to be used to test rocket-assisted take-offs using two rockets installed underneath the fuselage. The following month it demonstrated them at the Paris Air Show, but it only made occasional flights afterwards.' The tailfin is preserved at Lyon - Corbas.

The US Army Air Corps' staff Altair after repaint with light blue fuselage, and yellow wings and tailfin. The unit insignia is pale blue around the Capitol dome with a yellow and blue ring around it. Before and probably immediately after the repaint in 1935, the aircraft wore code 3. The front ring of the engine cowling was also for some time chequered yellow and blue.
