We have indeed gone back to Société des Avions Bernard skytrain10. Development of the Bernard 74 fighter started in 1930. The new aircraft was based on the racing S-72 and S-73 models and was powered by Gnome and Rhone 7K 280 hp engine. The test flight of the prototype, S-74C-1, took place in February 1931. Later test flights at Villacoublay resulted on an order from the French government for 25 S-74 fighters to be equipped with the more powerful Gnome and Rhone 7K 360 hp engine. A prototype for this revised version, S-74 no. 02, flew on 21 October 1931. Unfortunately the company went bankrupt (for the second time) and the rest of the aircraft were not produced.



Over to you.
