Sud-Ouest S.O.95 Corse II
(c/n 25)
The S.O.95 was the second of the Groupe
Technique de Cannes designs to enter production
following WW
II. This committee was formed by a group of Sud Ouest engineers
during the
war to design
possible post-war transport aircraft. It was originally intended
for local service
by Air France, but the state carrier rejected
the aircraft (as failing to meet their requirements)
and most of
the 60 built went to the French Navy (Aeronavale).
