Unidentified Aircraft

A generic parasol wing aircraft.
Filmed in 1943 when France was totally under the Nazi rule, especially for the movie industry. So an advertising is filmed once in French and another one in German.

Caudron C.630 Simoun

Model between the two characters. Wall of Fame too blurry to identify who's who.

Unidentified Aircraft

Maybe a Bellanca Aircruiser ?

Caudron C.600 Aiglon

F-ANSK was the real registration of the record breaker used by Andrée Dupeyron in 1938 but the plane was slighty different of the aircraft seen in the movie. So which one is disguised with this registration ? First a two-seater, this Caudron is modified in a single seater by the Gauthier.

Caudron C.272 Luciole

At a time when French aviation was practically non-existent (the country was fully occupied; flights were only authorized by the German occupiers; fuel was drastically restricted...), there were no active flying clubs or individuals authorized to fly.
On the other hand, the Luftwaffe (and Lufthansa in the case of airliners) had requisitioned a large number of aircraft, the Lucioles, for training and liaison flights.
This is undoubtedly one of those aircraft "civilized" by the application of an aeroclub logo just the size of a svatiska (fin) and squares where the nationality insignia should be on the wings, with the fuselage registration taking the place of the black cross.

Douglas DC-2

One of the three owned The Deutsche Luft Hansa in 1943, flying between Berlin and Lisbon. But this one seems a Douglas DC-2 seized in 1940 in the Nederlands. D-AE?? visible so must be D-AEAN Douglas DC-2-115E c/n1363. Was PH-AKQ then D-AEAN and ended under with SG+KV for the Luftwaffe.
