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.

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

Posing with the second S-40, in for maintenance in Dinner Key's Hangar 2. The bottom of the hull has been stripped and resealed. Despite the S-40's awkward and draggy appeance, it operated successfully and safely as one of the largest airliners of its day, carrying 38 passengers plus six crew, or 24 pax on longer flights.

The Dewoitine D.332 prototype at Schiphol on a proving flight. Émeraude departed for Saigon the next month but crashed on the final leg of the return flight, near Corbigny in France in a snowstorm on 15 January 1934. The main variant of the D.332 series was the D.338 which had a rectrable landing gear and was three metres longer still! The terminal building has been reconstucted at the Aviodrome in Lelystad.
