Armée de l'Air OOB

NOTES:

1.) In OTL, Marcel Bloch, the owner of Bloch, spent WWII in a Nazi camp, and after the war, changed his religion from Judaism to Catholicism and his name to Marcel Dassault, and rebuilt Bloch as Dassault. In Drakafic, this never happens, so we have Bloch Mirages instead of Dassault Mirages postwar, etc.

2.) During the invasion of France in 1940, Emil Dewoitine fled to Argentinia, where postwar, he designed the Pulqui I. With no German invasion of France in 1940, Dewoitine stays in France.

3.) The French get aircraft that they got in the early 1950s, because in OTL, they pretty much had to rebuild their industrial and design base from scratch following World War II; it's not enough to simply copy German "what if" designs, you need to have an indigenious capability of refining and developing the designs to get a workable airframe. You can see this in OTL, when the Argentinians tried building a copy of the Ta-183 with Kurt Tank's help. They found that the swept wing made it viciously unstable, and the Argentinians didn't have the technical capital needed to crack the secret of non-stalling swept wings; which was to build each wing exactly the same as the other. France didn't have this kind of industrial capital for quite some time after WWII. In Drakafic, no invasion of France occurs, and French soil is untouched, except for Drakian nusiance raids in retaliation for the bombing of North Africa, so the French are able to maintain their aeronautical expertise that was lost in 1940 in OTL.

4.) Many Bureaux absorptions do not happen.

1 x 7.5mm MAC 1934 MG (Flexible Rear Cockpit Mount)
882 lbs of bombs (8 x 110 lb bombs on modified aircraft)

NOTES: Was intended to act as a long range heavy fighter; but wartime experience showed that it was not very good at this role; and the ground attack role was better filled by the Bre.690 series, which was also faster, while carrying the same bombload; so for a brief time, the Potez 630 series was looking for a mission; and found it as night-fighters the same way the Bf-110 did, and filled that role until it was replaced by newer night-fighters.

292 MPH @ 16,404 ft
16,404 ft in 12:00

NOTES: A rather disappointing fighter, it was built because the engine was readily available, it used non-strategic materials (all wood), and only required 5,000 man/hours to assemble, compared to 12,000 for the MS.406


Dewoitine D.520C.1 (November 1938) xx

6 x 7.5mm MAC 1934 MGs (Underwing Gondolas) (300 RPG)
366 MPH @ 16,404 ft
888 mile range

NOTES: An upgrade of the previous CR.714, with a more powerful engine and two more 7.5mm machine guns, the CR.770 found it's niche working as a fighter training aircraft in the Armee De La Air due to it's cheapness; and also as a French Lend-Lease aircraft, with the Italians operating a few squadrons of them, along with a few other minor powers.

Morane Saulnier MS.410 (December 1939) xx
Hispano Suiza 12Y 31 @ 860 hp
314 MPH @ 14,765 ft maximum speed

466 mile range, 932 with drop tanks
1 x 20mm Hispano-Suiza 404 (Hub)
4 x 7.5mm MAC 34 M39 MGs (Wings)

NOTES: Improved model with two more wing mounted machine guns. Was otherwise indistingushable from the MS.406. This was the end of the line for the Moraine Saulner fighter family, as the MS.411 was only 20 MPH faster, despite having a 1,000 hp engine; and the later MS.450 had a speed of 348 MPH on a 1,300 hp engine; this was unacceptable and the Moraine Saulner bureau no longer developed any fighters for the Armee De L'Air.

Gnome Rhone 15B-1 @ 2,000 hp
435 MPH @ 25,754 ft
700 mile range
4 x 20mm Hispano 404 (Wings)

NOTES: Revised version of the MB-157 with a cut down bubble canopy of the style found on late mark USAF fighters, and a 2,000 hp engine. Armor protection for the pilot was increased, along with the armament, which kept the speed increases down to a marginal 5 MPH over the MB-157. Was the mainstay of the French fighter force for the war.

2 x 500 kg bombs

NOTES: The VG 90 was a shipboard jet fighter design, derived from the VG 70 and VG 80. The jet intake was moved from the ventral position to under the wing roots, and the wing sweep was reduced to enhance low-speed handling. Like the VG 70, the VG 90 was sleek and clean, but it was rather large for its engine. Both prototypes were lost in fatal crashes. The VG 90 was cancelled.

239 MPH @ 13,123 ft
23,786 ft service ceiling
553 mile range with 882 lb bombload
1,764 lbs of bombs maximum (4 x 441 lb, or 6 x 220 lb, or 8 x 110 lb, or 64 x 22 lb bombs)

Bloch M.B.174 A.3 (September 1938) xx
3 Man crew
2 x Gnome Rhone 14N 48/49 @ 1,100 hp

2 x 7.5mm MAC 1934 MGs (Dorsal Position)
3 x 7.5mm MAC 1934 MGs (Aft Firing Wobble Mounts)
882 lbs of bombs (usually 8 x 110 lb bombs)

NOTES: The MB.174 proved to be exceptional in its handling, but a major deficiency was the size of its bomb bay, too small to allow the carriage of bombs larger than 110 lb. This was a major limiting factor on the aircraft's effectiveness. Also conceived for armed strategic reconnaisance, its speed and its maneuverability at altitude allowed it to escape from most modern fighters.


Amoit 354 (October 1938) xx

1 x 7.5mm MAC MG (Nose)
1 x 20mm cannon (Dorsal Turret)
1 x 7.5mm MAC MG (Ventral Tunnel)
2,646 lb maximum bombload

NOTES: Became a primary french light/medium bomber of the war, replacing the Bloch MB-170 series due to it's greater range, bombload , and defensive armament.


Bloch M.B.175 (December 1938) xx
3 Man crew
2 x Gnome Rhone 14N 48 @ 1,140 hp
336 MPH @ 17,060 ft maximum speed

2 x 7.5mm MAC 1934 MGs (Dorsal Position)
3 x 7.5mm MAC 1934 MGs (Aft Firing Wobble Mounts)
1,322 lbs of bombs

NOTES: After the fiftieth MB.174 was delivered, the MB.175 succeeded the MB.174 on the assembly lines. This version, a dedicated bomber, had a redesigned bomb bay capable of carrying bombs of 220 to 440 lbs. Its fuselage was lengthened and widened to accommodate this greater capacity. A small amount were converted to act as torpedo bombers under the designation M.B.175T before the Breguet 690 series took over that role. Eventually it was phased out in the light/medium bomber role once the Amoit 350 series was produced in larger numbers as it was correctly predicted that the Amoit aircraft had more life in it's basic design. Still, it provided the French with most of their bomber force for the early part of the war.

NOTES: Major production version; had more armor protection, etc. The first pre-production versions had been delivered to the Armee De'L Air when WWII broke out.

Amoit 405 (No OTL Analogue) (May 1943)
3 man crew
2 x Gnome Rhone 15B-1 @ 2,000 hp

S.N.C.A.O. CAO-1000 (No OTL Analogue) (September 1943)
5 man crew
2 x Gnome Rhone 15B-1 @ 2,000 hp

1 x 20mm (Remotely Controlled Dorsal Turret)
1 x 20mm (Remotely Controlled Ventral Turret)

1 x 20mm (Tail Gun)

NOTES: Was based on SNCAO's failed CAO-700 heavy bomber design that failed to win the competition for a heavy bomber in 1939. The SNCAO designers didn't give up, and constantly kept on improving the CAO-700, with more powerful engines, and better aerodynamics, so that when the French Ministry of War put forth a requirement for a successor to the Bloch MB-162 series, SNCAO was well positioned and won the competition easily. Helped burn North Africa to the ground.


Lioré-Olivier LeO 760 (OTL S.N.C.A.S.O. SO-4000) (August 1945)
2 x 4,982 lbs thrust tubojets
528 MPH @ 29,527 ft
2 man crew
2 x 20mm in Wingtip Pods
4 x 992 lb bombs in bomb bay
or/plus
4 x 992 lb externally (total warload of 7,936 lbs)

NOTES: First French jet-powered bomber; was capable of outrunning all piston-engined fighters, but was vunerable to any jet fighters. Was beset with early stability problems and was terribly underpowered. It could be equipped with two 20mm cannons in wingtip gun pods for ground attack, but this was a feature rarely used. The placement of the engines led to many maintenance problems, leading to it becoming known as a hangar queen; and the stability problems led to several fatal crashes in it's only combat deployment. Was quickly withdrawn as the far superior LeO 762s entered service.

Lioré-Olivier LeO 762 Vatour I (Straight-Winged Version of OTL Vatour) (May 1946)
2 x 5,500 lbs thrust tubojets
540 MPH @ 29,527 ft
2 man crew
2 x 30mm (Fuselage)
6 x 992 lb bombs in bomb bay (5,952 lbs maximum)
or/plus
4 x 992 lb externally (3968 lbs, for a total warload of 9,920 lbs)

NOTES: Successor to the experimental LeO 760, the 762 was a conventional straight-winged jet bomber; which had considerably improved handling qualities over the 760, and was significantly easier to maintain. It was about 20 MPH faster; and could carry about 2,000 more lbs of bombs maximum due to the improved turbojets. It was originally planned to have the Vatour be a swept wing aircraft; but due to the problems in acquiring turbojets sufficient in power, it was decided for the first production block to be conventionally winged.


Lioré-Olivier LeO 764 Vatour II (OTL SNCASO SO-4050 Vatour A but with weaker engines) (June 1947)
2 x 6,600 lb turbojets
665 MPH top speed
4 x 30 mm DEFA
46,200 ft service ceiling
600 Mile range - low altitude attack with 2,204 lbs of bombs
1,553 Mile range with external bombs on a high altitude bombing mission.
8,818 lb bombload (Bomb Bay, six bombs max)
7,716 lb bombload (externally)
16,534 lb maximum bombload

NOTES: Replaced the earlier Vatour I as France's frontline jet bomber; was capable of outrunning all early jets; but was still vunerable to jet fighters of it's era. Was also fitted with four 30mm cannons for use in the light ground attack role. It was good enough that it served into the 1960s as France's light-strike bomber before being replaced by the Mach 2 Breguet Bre 810. Also served as photo reconnaisance and in night fighter roles. When France acquired the Atomic Bomb, and minaturized it to be small enough, it was the Vatour and it's developed successors which carried them as France's counterpart to the German Ju-132.

2 x 7.5mm Darne MGs (Engine Nacelles, firing Aft)
882 lbs of bombs (usually 8 x 110 lb bombs)

NOTES: Originally designed as a three-seat heavy fighter, after losing to the Potez 630, the Breguet 690 series was redesigned into a light bomber. In order to fit the required bombload in, the navigator's seat was deleted and replaced with a bomb bay. The little Breguets were popular with their crews. The aircraft was well designed, easy to maintain, pleasant to fly and the type's sturdy construction was frequently demonstrated and the armament was effective.

882 lbs of bombs (usually 8 x 110 lb bombs)

NOTES: Formed the backbone of the Armee de La Air's light attack fleet. Was a upgraded version of the Bre 697 with more powerful engines, and a revised armament for the ground attack duties it found itself performing with increasing regularity. Large amounts of armor were added to the airframe, which negated most of the advantage from moving to 1,500 hp class engines. Torpedo-carrying variants were effective over the Mediterranean.
