Leonetto Cappiello. Crémant du roi veuve Amiot. 1922. 

160 x 120 cm. Lithographie couleur. Collection MATOU.

A Saumur, au XIXe siècle, Elisabeth Amiot, devenu veuve, prend en main la destinée de son vin (même destinée, même assonance, et même nombre de syllabes que pour la Veuve Clicquot !). Elle est décidée à ce qu'il devienne le plus grand des vins de Loire.
 Capiello ici nous distrait toujours autant. Il use de la référence royale en mettant en scène un monarque. Ce dernier juge le vin exquis, tout vêtu qu'il est de sa tunique losangée, évoquant les sols à damiers des châteaux princiers, ceci dans une pose très fixe assouplie par les volutes d'hermine de son manteau de pourpre !

Amiot 143M Despite being outdated by the time the Spanish Civil War rolled around, the Amiot 143M still managed to be somewhat-useful to the French Air Force. Since bomber production rates were incredibly low, the French had no choice but to utilize the aircraft. They were used for reconnaissance and leaflet dropping over Germany during the Phoney War, and they managed to be relatively good at night bombing German airfields. The Amiot 143M couldn't be used during the day because of its lack of armermant; the large plane had a grand total of four 7.5mm MAC 1934s. After the fall of France, they were used for troop transport by both the Axis (in extremely limited numbers) and the Allies. By 1944, the Amiot 143M was completely retired. It holds a special place in my heart because of its dorky look and suprisingly decent combat record.

Amiot 354 French Bomber

The Amiot 350 was a series of fast, twin-engine bombers which fought with the French Air Force in limited numbers during the Battle of France. Derived from the Amiot 341 mail plane, the Amiot 340 prototype was involved in a propaganda misinformation flight to Berlin in August 1938 to convince the Germans that the French employed modern bombers. Though 830 machines were ordered by the French government only 80 machines were received by the Air Ministry. The main variant was the twin-tailed 351; however, due to various delays, the single-tailed 354 was accepted into service as an interim type.

The Amiot 354 was a 351 re-engined with two 798 kW (1,070 hp) Gnome-Rhône 14N-48 / Gnome-Rhône 14N-49, most were built with single-tails; approximately 45 were built.
