Re: Photo Caudron C.275 Luciole
Checking a bit further, I believe there must be a connection between the huge order made by the French Govt (Etat Francais) and its support to various Flying Clubs in the late 1930s.
This program (called l'Aviation Populaire) attracted a large number of Luciol orders. A rough estimate the c/n 7637 - 7719 and 7876 - 8127 were ordered in this way. Of course many other aircraft types were also ordered.
It must have been pretty easy to impress them when the war broke out. Perhaps they kept their civil reg on the fuselage sides and received the Matricule Militaire under the wings?
Cheers
