| Breguet 763 Provence |
| France, 1952 - In 1951 Air France
ordered a revised version of the already built cargoplane Breguet
761 Deux Ponts for their transmediterranean routes. The design originated
in 1944, but did not fly until 1949. The vast Provence had two decks
- the upper for 59 and the lower for 48 passengers - and could be
adapted as a mixed cargo/passenger aircraft. The initially used Gnome-Rhône
14R radials were abandoned in favour of the more reliable and powerful
Pratt & Whitney R-2800's. A total of twelve Provences were ordered
by Air France, but only six were in regular service in Europe and
Africa. The last Breguet 763 still flew in 1971. |
