Potez 27

[1] The result of this marriage was an unequal span, single bay biplane with a pair of parallel, outward leaning interplane struts on each side, aided by flying wires.

This was water cooled, with Lamblin cylindrical radiators under the wings and between the V-struts on which the rigid axle and wheels of the tailskid undercarriage were mounted.

The two cockpits were arranged in tandem, with the pilot under a cut-out in the upper wing trailing edge for better vision; the gunner was equipped with twin Lewis guns on a rotatable, Scarff type mounting.

It was not adopted by L'Armée de l'Air but twenty were sold to the Polish Air Force and another one hundred and fifty-five were built under licence for them by Podlaska Wytwórnia Samolotów.

[1] The first Type 27 continued to fly in France, for example at the Rally of the Aéro-Club de Auvergne in September 1926[3] and at Villacoublay in May 1928.
