Help me to identify this aircraft

Hello,

According to the pcture's owner, this plane was used during the Brazil Revolution of 1932. Please, can someone identify this plane:



Thanks in advance,

Douglas

Re: Help me to identify this aircraft

Although I can't identify the airplane, here are a couple observations: 1). the "F" in the fuselage code suggests that it may be of French registry, and 2). the shape of the vertical tail and, especially, the engine cowl bear a strong resemblance to a Breguet 14, which was a French observation plane from WWI; however, this plane has a parasol wing arrangement, whereas the Breguet 14 was a biplane - perhaps this is a later development based on the Breguet 14?

Re: Help me to identify this aircraft

I was unable to identify it using this page:
http://www.aviafrance.com/firmes.php
(I have no time enough in work to open each name!)
Better chance to me is to look at Francisco Pereira´s book in home.
The Aviação Militar (from Brazilian Army) had almost all planes from French origin. The photo may have been taken in Brazil. It can be also one of Aeropostale machines that flew in Brasil too.

Must be a machine from Aeropostale, see the one at the bottom of this poster/postcard:

I think that is a Latécoère 26.

Re: Help me to identify this aircraft

I think you're right - the engine cooling vents, gear struts, and wing struts look the same. Interestingly, the Aeropostale card includes a Breguet 14 in the upper right corner !
