Mauboussin M.120

The Mauboussin M.120 was a trainer and touring aircraft built in France in the 1930s and again in the years following World War II.

The undercarriage was of fixed tailskid type, and the pilot and instructor sat in tandem, open cockpits.

Mauboussin built a number of prototypes himself, followed by a small series manufactured for him by Breguet in 1934.

[1] In 1936, Fouga, then a builder of railway rolling stock, purchased all rights to the design as part of an effort to enter the aircraft industry and was able to secure a contract from the Armée de l'Air to supply the type as the M.123.

One of first M.120s took part in the international touring aircraft contest Challenge 1932, flown by André Nicolle.
