Title: Bloch 151 and 152

The Bloch 151 and 152 were improved versions of the original Bloch 150 which first flew in 1937. A single-engined all metal monoplane with retractable undercarriage and an enclosed cabin, the Type 150 lost out to the Morane-Saulnier MS406 for Armee de L’Air orders, but was considered sufficiently promising that development continued, leading to the 151 and the 152.

The 151 and 152 were produced in parallel, differing mainly in the engine model installed, and eventually over 660 in total were built. However these products of the Marcel Bloch company (which became Dassault Aviation after the war) were considered the least successful of the French WW2 fighters, primarily due to inadequate manoeuvrability and poor range.

This title contains two French instruction manuals for the Bloch 151 and 152 along with the Aircraft Profile for the Bloch 151 and 152. The files have been scanned from the original manuals and retain any colour pages.
