Avions Marcel Dassault MD-410 Spirale III STOL transport project......

[Caravellarella]

Dear Boys and Girls, here is an article in French announcing the development of the Avions Marcel Dassault MD-410 Spirale III STOL transport. It would have been based partly on the previous Avions Marcel Dassault MD-410 Spirale COIN/ground attack prototype, but with a high-wing and a new fuselage with a rear loading ramp; it remained a "project" and was rejected in favour of the Avions Max Holste MH.260 Super Broussard......

The article comes from the 1961 Paris Salon issue of Les Ailes......
