Volland V.10 staggered-wing biplane

[avion ancien]

..........and now two equally poor images of the Volland V.10, a French two seat training biplane of the 1930s. However the stagger of the wings is such that if not for the struts, maybe it could be described as a tandem mainplane low/parasol wing monoplane! I think that I have slightly better versions of these photographs somewhere, but I can't find them at present. If I do and I can find them, I'll post them subsequently.

From an old "Les ailes" 1946

Thank you, hesham and toura. The clips from Les Ailes are most interesting. From the fact that they came from a 1946 issue and the way the text is phrased, it seems that the V.10 must have survived the war. I wonder what became of it subsequently?

An item on the Volland V.10 from L'Aérophile, April 1938:



Also, just a "peanut scale" plan by Emmanuel Fillon to build the Volland V.10, but it seems pretty accurate:

A better copy of the same item:



An item from Les Ailes, February 13, 1936:



An item from Paris-Soir, May 27, 1936, the day after the first flight.
Note that the Régnier engine is said to have been used for that flight:




And finally, an item from the Revue du Ministère de l'Air, Nov. 15, 1936 (a Paris Salon special):



It would seem that none of those articles mentioned the fact that the V.10 had been designed by G. Bertout.
