Hello everyone, I am new to this forum. My name is Vincent, 38 years old, and I collect pictures from WW2 preferred location Netherlands. Recently I have 2 pictures of planes d3 progress encountered and I would like to know more about. What are the example for aircraft and which is for example the crash site in the picture: Photo1: Foto2:
Thanks for the info. As additional info I have: Photo1: (info on the tail: Block, RB4, No. 26) Foto2: (info on the tail: Potez, 631, K100) Is there to figure out where these pictures were taken anything?
Dee erste picture on the right is certainly not Bloch200 or 210, which had an adrenal aperfect rectangular hull. This aircraft occurred has at the top a clear semi-circular shape. In terms of hull shape, there are two french pinion who qualify for it, the Bloch 131 and Martin 167 Maryland. Also, both with radial engines. The linkerwark d3 progress on photo1 is a Bloch 131. Originally a scout who quickly withdrawn after the outbreak of the war from the front line and used as target towing gear, were hence the vertical black and white stripes on the tail. (I do not know why the Bloch 131 had the designation RB4 on the tail, I still have to go find out). That makes it all in all the most logical to assume that the judge is also a wreck (the same?) Bloch 131. To The location is almost certainly one of the airports in the south of France in Provence, for example, Orange-Plan-de-Dieu. The second picture is indeed a Potez 631. Longitudinal white line or arrow on the body indicates that the plane flew after the Armistice by the Vichy Air Force. d3 progress The location may be France or French colonies across Southeast.

The upper unit is 100% sure a Bloch 131 - not all devices were used as target tugs, sommig also as a long-range scout. The device is seen as broken, but this is indeed one and the same device. The stripes were other white-red-white-red-white RB4 = "reconnaissance aircraft / bomber" with four crew members. That's French for aircraft registration C = hunters (Chasse) B = bombers (Bombardment) R = reconnaissance (reconnaissance) The wing that you see in the picture on the left is the way back from another plane. The second picture is indeed a Potez 631. The white stripe on the body suggests that the photo was taken in June 1940.
