Loire et Olivier LeO H-258. I also believe in the photo, the wings have flopped forwards, so much so, that they are actually upside down. Note the rear engine nacelle on the thumbnails, very angular and squared off, just like the remnants of the engine nacelles on the wreck... and credit where due, Von Alles just pipped me to posting the answer... well done... ! |
Hello,
I suggest more a LéO H-257bis (radial engines) than a H-258 (with in line engines). These two types were in line service in 1939-40, the last H-257 was built in march 1939 !!
Very intresting serie, thank you for sharing.
