Hispano-Suiza three countries status (Spain and France and Switzerland) led to a whole bunch of bizarro WWII and post- WWII funny things. The 12Y and 12Z spread to a whole bunch of countries outside France, and the engines powered planes well into the 1960's.


By the way, circa 1941 Vichy France made available its extensive aircraft industry to Nazi Germany: to produce second-line types: trainers and transports, mostly.

Again, this led to some very weird situations.

Such as much upgraded Arado 96 trainers used for CAS in Algeria, 12 years after 1945...  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arado_Ar_96

Also Fieseler Storch turned MS.500 Criquet.

Siebel 204 turned Martinet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SNCAC_Martinet


And a few more.
