At least this is a raritie for me: Salmson Bechereau SB 3 (Avions magazine #108, march 2002). Another beautiful bug. Contestant in the coupe Beaumont in 1923/4/5. Enjoy this jewel!

Very interesting Valengo! With B-17 though, would be neat to see some specs on the bird

Interesting machine. In looking at it's profile, it almost seems to have been influenced by the WWI German Albatros and Roland aircraft.

Nice find mate! I've seen a Salmson motor in a collector's museum in NZ, but never knew they made aircraft aswell...

Hi.
Found this 3view. Not the best, but... Seems that I can't attach in Opera, so here is the link. Any of you having the same problems?

One more link to the Deperdussin. Same constructor, Louis Bechereau.

Interesting adds, mates. The plane had the tipical "teardrop" profile to have good penetration in the air.
