Good morning, guys!

Excellent additions to the Bucket!

The last of Northrop early series of all metal, single engine monoplanes, the Northrop Gamma (just a complement to the excellent DP´s Chinese Gammas previous drawings). Probably the most famous was the Model 2B Polar Star, and the first trans-Antartic Flight in late 1935. A 2G Gamma was Howard`s Hughes mount for his transcontinental speed record of 1935.

During the SCW, the Spanish Republic had 3 Gammas, one (a 2E with "greenhouse" tandem forward cockpit) was used with the Vultee Squadron in the 72 group. Another (an ex-TWA 2D) was used in the Bomber School at Totana, with secondary maritime patrol duties. Unfortunatelly, I was unable to find data of the third one.

Cheers.

Great additions yourself reyt, particularly your Chaco-War stuff, planning on doing the Curtiss Falcon too?

Good morning, guys. Excellent additions!

Derived from the Short Calcutta, Breguet Br. 521 Bizerte was a three engined sesquiplane flying boat and the core of the long range MR of the French Aeronavale during the late interwar period. A dozen or so were used by the Luftwaffe as SAR airplanes, mainly based in the Atlantic coast of ocupied France.


As the fighters were more advanced in the mid 1930s, the current combat training was no longer useful and a new type of trainer was needed. Morane Saulnier modified a MS-405 fighter airframe with a Salmson 9 cylinder radial engine, a tandem cockpit por two pilots and an odd looking empenage, creating the MS-430 trainer aircraft.


Unfortunatelly, the aircraft was underpowered, so a new version with a more potent Gnome et Rhone radial and a new empenage was made and almost without further tests, ordered for production in 1939. But in that chaotic year year, the production was severly delayed, and by June (the fall of France) any production aircraft was ready, but the prototype, which was found by the germans in Marignane in 1940 and scuttled.


Cheers.
