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

The CV-240 prototype was fitted with Allison 501 (T38) turboprops, becoming America's first jet-powered airliner when it first flew as the CV-240-21 Turbo-Liner on 29 December 1950. The project was apparently led by Allison and the aircraft was registered to GM in 1951. It is seen here with the Convair XF-92A, 46-682, which was painted white in 1951. The CV-240-21 was unsuccessful but N24501 continued to be used for Allison 501 testing until 1959 when it was converted back to Double Wasp power. Photo from: Convair / San Diego Air & Space Museum
