The Potez Po-633B2 light bomber / reconnaissance aircraft
|
|
|
After beating its rivals ( the Breguet Bre.690, the Hanriot H.220, Loire - Nieuport LN.20 and Romano R-110 ) in an open contest, the Po-63 managed to make such an impression on the French Air Ministry, that it was quick decided to place an order for a batch of no less than 7 pre-production Po-63 variants. |
