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.
