Remarks by Ed Coates: "The Lanquedoc was designed in the late 1930's by Marcel Bloch as the MB 161. After the war, however, with the nationalization of the French aircraft industry, it was produced by the Société Nationale de Constructions Aéronautiques de Sud-Est (SNCASE). Bloch himself. interestingly enough was then associated with SNCASO (Societe Nationale de Constructions de Sud-Ouest.) One hundred Languedocs were built. Used by Air France, Misr of Egypt and Air Liban as well as the French Air Force and Navy." |
