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

On 16 June 1955 members of the Argentine military staged a bloody coup against the Perón regime, with aircraft indiscriminately attacking the Plaza de Maya area and killing over 300 civilians, according to Wikipedia's Bombing of Plaza de Mayo article. The coup failed and up to 40 aircraft evaded to Montevideo in Uruguay where their crews and passengers were interned. Hank Walker's photos presumably show the aircraft being picked up by loyalist personnel. On the right is a C-54 of the Argentine navy. I-094 to C-094 in 1959. Preserved in a park in Merlo, Buenos Aires. Photo by: Hank Walker / Life

The last Boeing 314 to be built, NC18612 was formally delivered to the US Army Air Force as a C-98 in September 1941. There is little sign of its military status, although it is of interest that the C of the NC reg is not worn. Photo by: Hart Preston / 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

First flown in 1943 as the SO.90 Cassiopée, the Corse was a small airliner which saw limited service with the French air force and navy. The only civilian operator was apparently Air Services of India. On the right is the Sud-Ouest M.2 jet, F-WFDK. Top right, Morane-Saulnier MS.701 light twin F-WFDE, MS.474 Vanneau No 82 and an MS.733 Alcyon, F-BLYE. The glider towards the left is a Breguet Br 900 Louisette, F-WEPE.

First flown in 1943 as the SO.90 Cassiopée, the Corse was a small airliner which saw limited service with the French air force and navy. The only civilian operator was apparently Air Services of India. On the right is the Sud-Ouest M.2 jet, F-WFDK. Top right, Morane-Saulnier MS.701 light twin F-WFDE, MS.474 Vanneau No 82 and an MS.733 Alcyon, F-BLYE. The glider towards the left is a Breguet Br 900 Louisette, F-WEPE.
