1931 Flown Invasion Lost Reconnaissance Secondflight Spring
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the ANF Mureaux 114, a military reconnaissance aircraft that first took to the skies in 1931. With fewer than 300 units built in its series, this aircraft holds a significant place in aviation history. The ANF Mureaux 114 was a vital asset to the French Air Force during the turbulent times leading up to and including World War II. Its sleek design and advanced capabilities made it an invaluable tool for gathering intelligence and reconnaissance. However, the price of war was high, and eleven of these aircraft were tragically lost during the Spring 1940 invasion. The ANF Mureaux 114 was a second-generation biplane, featuring a metal fuselage and wooden wings. Its open cockpit housed a single pilot, who braved the elements to gather critical information for the French military. Powered by a Hispano-Suiza 12Nbr engine, this aircraft could reach impressive speeds for the era, making it a formidable presence in the skies. This photograph captures the ANF Mureaux 114 in its element, soaring high above the ground with the wind in its wings. The intricate details of its design are on full display, from the streamlined fuselage to the meticulously crafted wings. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the courage and determination of the pilots who flew these aircraft and the crucial role they played in the history of military aviation during World War II.
