Hi,

According to the French text, Justo source comes from old memories of the designers, while Hesham's source comes from a factory presentation of 1940, unpublished till 2009. I knew Justo's sources, but I will use Hesham's one to present the version C3 that I did not know. Thanks, both of you. ;D

 

[Tophe]

Have you noticed the huge difference in the undercarriage according to the different sources? The Web's factory source seems to feature a very rare "single main wheel"... Very interesting, indeed. Thanks again.

 

[airman]

wow an other obscure french project !
It was obscure, so really interesting project !

Hi,


in a French site about Model aircraft,I found this drawing to DJ.12,and they said;
it was a primary design to it,is that right ?,I can't remember that site now.

Looks like a patent drawing to me. Maybe about coupling two engines ?
Apart from the twin boom layout, it doesn't share really much with the DJ.12.
A pity, that we don't know the source ... That's always an important point,
not only to prevent legal issues, but to enable others to proceed with their own
research there, maybe with their speech comprehension.

I think the DJ 12 C2 was submitted to 1939 contest,with Delanne DL.10 and Bloch MB.1040
