That is because most people are not dumb. The others that voted no are just doing so to either throw Lanc off or to make him feel better. Nothing else.
this is mainly due to the fact that our government had never considered the renewal of our fleet as a priority. Unfortunately the rising of the Nazi regime in Germany forced the Government to consider new projects but aircraft were all "old fashioned" before they made their first flight.
It is a French tradition to have ugly aircraft, especially during the 1930-1950 period. Except for the Dewointine 520 and all fighter series, the persons in charge of the projects have always looked backwards and made the models according to what was done and persistenly had trouble looking forward. As such design was something odd to them.
MB 174 series begins, to date the most famous planes to carry the Bloch name. MB 174-176 are light bomber/attack aircraft with excellent flying qualities and a 280-kt cruise. Over 1000 are produced. A reconnaissance derivative called the MB 175 was used in North Africa, astounding the Germans with its speed and altitude capabilities. During the war, the Germans consider producing their own version. After the war, production is resumed by Sud-Ouest.
Actually I just read that for many of these crates, the Luftwaffe evaluated them, saw thier performance and therefore passed them on to thier "Allies" who in turn evaluated them, saw thier performance and either used them as trainers and target tows.
