Bréguet 270
Dating from 1930, the Bréguet 270 was a reconnaissance aircraft operated by the Armée de l’Air (French Air Force). Though badly dated by 1939, it still equipped three Groupes at the time of the German invasion. Heavy combat losses resulted in the remaining aircraft being withdrawn from front-line duties.
An initial batch of 85 Br.270s was ordered in 1930, followed by 45 Br.271s in 1932. These were powered by the Hispano-Suiza 12Y of 484 kW (650 hp) instead of the Hispano-Suiza 12Hb of 370 kW (500 hp). As newer aircraft became operational, older machines were modified as VIP transports by enclosing the rear observer’s position.
The final production version, the Bre.273 was designed for export, with Venezuela ordering 15 and China an additional six. These had the uprated Hispano-suiza 12Ybrs of 860hp increasing their bomb load to 400kg.
