A french designer, but built in Marokko...

Good clue ! That could mean, that it principally was a Spanish design, as Morocco was
divided into a Spanish and a French protectorate then. It seems more probable to me,
that Emile Hennion was working in the French part, nevertheless it's not certain, of course.

Émile Hennion was working in Casablanca, in the French protectorate.

Thank you very much,

then I think, we can accept it as a French design !

Hi,


it was Hennion Type 11,mention in Trait d'Union magazine as a French aircraft.

Attached is the whole of the report from les Ailes of 1 February 1940 concerning the Hennion monoplane. If one looks at the opening sentence of the second paragraph, where the place of construction should appear, irritatingly one finds the word 'censuré'. Thus maybe I was too swift in judging this aeroplane as Moroccan rather than French (but perhaps Maveric can identify the source of his information that it was constructed in Morocco). However I do not resile from the general principle of my argument, namely that it is preferable to attribute an aircraft designed and/or built in a country under colonial rule to the geographical country rather than to the foreign power that rules it at that time. Otherwise all aircraft designed and/or constructed before August 1947 in what is now India, Pakistan and Bangladesh will have to be called British!

Hi avion_ancien,

The Hennion also appears in Les Ailes 28/12/1939, where the town name Casablanca is not censored:

By the way, Charles Claveau includes Hennion (who made no other aircraft) among French aircraft manufacturers in Trait d'Union no.215. But I agree that the attribution is borderline.

Hi avion ancien,my source was the L+K, but I can´t say which issue. I believe 2013 or 2012...

 

[avion ancien]

I'd have to be braver than I am to contradict M Claveau!

I couldn't reach this site so I don't know if a 3V is presented.
Nevermind here-under 2 drawings of the aircraft designed and built by Emile Hennion ( from "Les Cahiers du RSA" n°15 July 1954).

You may wish to note that there is a 4-page article (pages 58-61) on Hennion (?-1940) and his Type 11 in the February 15, 1985 issue of Aviation magazine international, available on Gallica.

Dear Hesham,
Both drawings concern the same aircraft built by Emile Hennion before WW2.
Hennion built this aircraft in Casablanca, Morocco, as a homebuilt but with help of some profesionnal aircraft workers.
First tests performed in august 1939. Small production serie was planned but stop by the war before even starting.
Specs given in Les Cahiers du RSA & photo from "Les Ailes" magazine:

Dear Hesham, there are a lot of magazines named "Trait d'Union" in Gallica.bnf.fr, but I can't find among them the one your are talking about.

Could you, please, write and exact title of the magazine or give the link to the Gallica? Thank you in advance.

 

[hesham]

My dear Burunduk,it's about aviation,and it's not displayed on Gallica.
