| France, 1929 - The Latécoère 28
was an eight passenger airliner/mail plane that initially served the
Lignes Aériennes Latécoère, but was later flown by the mail carrier
Aéropostale as well. It was a sleek, single engined high wing monoplane
that made several noteworthy flights, the most famous of which was
Mermoz' with the 'Comte de la Vaulx' in 1930, a float version that
had a deeper wing. Together with Dabry and Gimie he crossed the South
Atlantic from St. Louis, Senegal to Natal, Brazil and paved the way
for Air France's air mail route from Toulouse to Rio de Janeiro. The
model is also available in the float
version. |
