Thanks Clint for this

Read SAS for Section d'Avions Sanitaires

They were the n°1, 2, 3, 4, 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 and 10/110 and also 21, 22, 23 and 24/110.

You have the story of SAS 22/110 in Avions n°78 (LELA presse) ; they have different a/c and one F.192.

The F.390 or F.404 on the links could have belonged to another SAS that it is unknown... today

Hi Bertrand,


Thanks for the response.Does the Avions 78 give a serial for the SAS 22/110 F.192?


Also regarding the designation of the SAS units what is the significance of the 110 after the /?



Regards,


Clint

Hi Clint,

The Farman F.192 is the F-ALAQ.

x /110 corresponds to ther Bataillon de l'Air n° 110 on which these SAS (Etampes) initially depended. However later they were sent to different bases and were attached to them.

For example SAS 4/110 is in Etampes on 02/09/1939 and on 20/09/1939 leaves for Dijon.
