Photo French Beute Aircraft

[musec04]

Hello,


Could someone please identify the type of aircraft shown at:


https://www.ebay.de/itm/J682-Frankre...kAAOSwmZhgERPU


It looks a bit like a Caudron C.59. Are any known to have been impressed in 1939/40?


A second photo by the same seller shows Morane Saulnier MS.149 F-AMYV at:

Looks very much like a C.59 Clint

Heavily used by l'Armée de l'Air, (over 800?) I can only assume some of them remained to be captured.

The MS 149 has been shown before, but inside its hangar. Don't know if they thus first pushed it inside and later brought it outside....or vice versa....

Cheers

Hi Stig,


Thanks. Do you know if the MS.149 was still at Epinal when the photo was taken? Edit, if so,and it seems likely then the C.59 is likely F-AOXC as both aircraft had been operated by the Aeroclub Vosgien. Vital Ferry in Aviation Populaire ou Aviation Proletaire records F-AOXC as one loaned to the Aeroclub by the the French state as was F-AMYV.Given that, it looks as though neither machines have received tricolores or any other national markings though difficult to be totally certain based on these photos), so perhaps not impressed after all.


Regards,


Clint

Good job Clint ! It is the A/F of Epinal-Dogneville. Same particular roof for the hangar.

Photos included came from Avions n°209 where GAO 548 posted in 39/40.

Could the first photograph show a Mureaux 115 or 117 close recce aircraft? I'm not able to be positive.
