Re: Farman F.222 & variantes
The first NC 223.3 bombers were delivered on May 1940 and participated in night bombing attacks on Germany before being transferred to North Africa in June 1940.
The bombers were subsequently relegated to transport roles, seeing service with both the Vichy regime and the Free French.
The F.224 was a dedicated civil variant able to seat 40 passengers. Six machines were produced for Air France, but were ultimately rejected by the airline. The aircraft went on to serve in the Armée de l'Air instead.
