From Trait d'Union #147 (Jan-Feb 1993):
Jean Biche worked for Georges Levy since 1915. Then he worked for Levasseur, then for "Schneider et Villiers". Then in 1930 he proposed twin-boom designs in 1930. In 1931, he worked for Hanriot and in 1937 he worked on Romano aircraft.

lightweight fighter competition;

Check the PDF on this page!
Some good photos, drawings and details.


Interesting, could it be the starting point for P-38 design? :cool: ;D

I apologize if this is common knowledge, but you can extract pictures from pdf files using pdf xchange viewer's export function. Here are a few photographs from aforementioned NACA report.

This NACA report is a treasure! Thanks for sharing.


You are welcome!
There were a number of similar reports, describing European aircraft of 1920-30th, available for free download - sorry, couldn't remember the page with them.


H.110 has been later developed into H.115, with canon armament and four-blade propeller.
I'm looking for information about it for this topic
 
Two pages from "Les Ailes" newspaper March, 1933 (№615).
I'm adjusted it a bit for clear reading, removing yellow cast

If you go back to Reply #6 you'll see that there was no "LB.1". It was called the JL, and its production version was called LB.2.
 
Hi Skyblazer,


I think TU magazine is more certified than any magazine,so they called it LB.1.

If we look to JL.1,it was single seat,and LB.1 was two seat,in TU magazine,they were two different designs.

For Maveric,the picture for JL.1 was in reply # 6
 
From Onera Archive,

at first we know all Levasseur or Levy-Biche were a military airplanes,
but her is a two-seat light seaplane,what was it ?.

Does anyone have detailed drawings of the wing and tail boom structure of the 1930, twin-boom pusher?
I am curious about how they transferred loads from the outer wing panels to the cockpit pod.
