The single prototype of this twin engined bomber was built in 1915, if it ever flew is uncertain.
I've found two photos of it, but on some sites the existence of three is mentioned. I would
like to make a 3-view, but still yet, at least the tail section would have to be complete guess work.
Anybody who can support additional photos ?
If, however, there's already a 3-view, please tell me, would use my time for another project then... ;)

Jemiba a 3d view is in the book French Aircraft of the First World War by Davilla/Soltan in page 330.
 
Indeed there is. Bigger scan is on its way.

Looks like a tri-motor to me!!

:)
 
Arjen, many thanks indeed ! Saves a lot of time for me, although ... I now have to look
for something else ! But good to see nevertheless !
@ alfakilo : The front prop just was a generator, I think, the two rotary engines were buried
in the fuselage just behind the cockpit.
 
Have corrected a small error in the drawing. Do you spot it ?
For Arjen it took just five minutes ! ;)

Considering I had the the drawing in my possession for, I don't know, eight years, Jens spotting the error within days of receiving photos and drawing is more of an achievement than mine - I was told there was something wrong by Jens, that makes spotting any error a lot easier.
