SECM 20 to 26:

Designed by engineer Bouchenot, models 20 to 26 represented a series of biplanes intended for school or touring. The SECM 20, baptized Lutèce, was presented at the 1921 Salon. A side-by-side two-seater, it was fitted with a 110 hp Rhone 9J rotary engine. The type 21 never flew due to the absence of its 150 hp Farman engine, development of which was abandoned.

The model 22, presented at the 1922 Salon, was produced in three copies. It received a 150 hp Hispano Suiza HS 8As engine. The SECM 23 (180 hp HS 8Ac engine) was a three-seat sesquiplane. One example was built and registered F-ESEF. The SECM 23 destroyed in a Cherbourg landing accident in 1924.

The model 24 was intended for training. A tandem-set biplane, it was equipped with a Rhône 9c engine of 80 hp. The example produced was used until 1930 by the STAé.

The SECM 25, intended to be powered by a Salmson 9Ac 120 hp engine, was not built.

The last model of the series, the type 26, had been designed to a 1923 school training the program - category EP2 (École Pilotage double commande). Endowed with an 80 hp Rhône 9c, the type 26 was not a successful candidate.

120S was a seaplane or flying boat Project,maybe developed from Type-110S ?

As in reply # 29,it was just a float seaplane version of Amiot-120.

The SECM 120 S (Spécial) is described in the clipping in reply #29 as "Raid". So, a long-distance record attempt aircraft. Photos of the 120S (modified 120-02 prototype) show it on the usual wheeled land undercarriage. So, not a floatplane variant.
 
Perhaps, but we have no non-circumstantial evidence to back that up.

Odd about those "CLM Junkers of 500 hp". Were these a coupled version of the CLM Lille 6As (licensed Jumo 205)? If so, that engine produced 650 hp back in August 1936 when the Bernard 86 was fitted with that diesel. Did CLM Lille really need to derate this engine for coupling three years later?
 
Hello from Germany,

I've just discovered in the issues of JAWA's 1928-1930, the Amiot 101 C1 Single-Seat fighter. This a/c is in most other publications the Amiot 110 C1. But why should they use the same number for completely different aircraft (Amiot 110 C1 Fighter, Amiot 110 S Seaplane).
Could that be possible, that Jane's did the same mistake for a wrong number for 3 years?

Welcome aboard Holger,

this mistake was done by many encyclopedias,they meant Amiot-110.

You will see more details in my book with Mr. Jamesw Davilla about
French Military Aircraft 1919-1945.
 
I have attempted to reorganize the Amiot-SECM list in a more synthetic manner in the following Excel chart.
I am of course open to comments, corrections and additions.

Very great work,

and I want to explain how there are many arrangements of this designer,and
how he made many re-allocations to the series,it's very complicated;

- When he began from his company, Type X (later type 100),XI,XII (later type 120),XIII & XIV.

- Then started from 1923 to 26,Type 100,110,120,130 ?,140T,150T,160T & 170T.

- By 1927 to 1934; Type 110,120 (not used,because the Amiot-120 still there),130,
140s,140T,150,160T,170,180,190 & 200

- from 1934 and up to end,there is two different sequences;
A- Type 150,160 & 170
B- Type 200 to 300,310,320,330,340s,350s,360,360/II,370s,380s,390,400s,410,
410/II,410/III,420,430 raised to 530 and 540
