Two prototypes of the He 274 were builtduring the war by the “Ateliers
Aèronautiques de Suresnes”,part of the SNCASO, I think. After the liberation
these aircraft were finished and redesignated AAS 01. Originally intended as
high altitude bombers, driven by 4 DB603 engines and fitted with a
pressurized cabin, they were never used in te original role, but as carrier
aircraft for the SO.M1 and the Leduc 010 and 016. I’ll post some photos
this evening.
There were several other german a/c, that were built after the war by french
companies :
– AAC.1 Toucan : Ju 52
– SNCAC NC.900 : Fw 190A
– Morane Saulnier MS.500/501/502 : Fieseler Fi 156 Storch
– SNCAN N.1001 Pingouin : Bf 108
– SNCAN N.1101 Ramier/Noralpha : Me 208
built in just one example :
– SNCASE SE.3000 : Focke Achgelis FA.223
– Blohm & Voss Bv 144
Captured aircraft, that were operationally used by the AdlA and the Aeronavale were :
– Ju 88
– Ju 188
– Do 24
And AFAIK the SNCASO SO.8000 Narval was directly based on a Focke Wulf
design. During the french occupation, the french aviation industry was
pressed into the german aircraft production, so it probably was easiest way,
to stay in the business after the war, when still no genuine french design was
ready for production.
