First flying on 28 December 1933, the Loire 70 was a long-range maritime reconnaissance flying boat designed for the French Navy. Seven production aircraft were ordered and along with the prototype served with Escadrille E7 at Karouba in Tunisia. An Italian air raid destroyed 3 of the 4 surviving aircraft. https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/loire-70-french-flying-boat/ #aeroplane #Aircraft #airplane #aviation #FlyingBoat #FrenchAirForce #Loire70 #SecondWorldWar #WorldWarTwo #WW2
