Photos French Aircraft

[musec04]

Thanks Stig,


I was growing increasingly uncertain about the Type U identity anyway. Like yourself no doubt I looked at the Lela volume on Morane Saulnier where it does say under the line drawing precisely that. I may be seeing something that isn't there. I thought that the photo shows a large windscreen immediately behind the machine gun housing,but presumably whatever it is,is behind the plane,not on it.But then would a prototype have has an MG mounted anyway. Nope.


Regards,

Clint

Thanks Bertrand for the reply and additional information. I take it any of the Breguet photos are likely from BR.7?
