This CD contains two Flight Handbooks and a commemorative
brochure for the Breguet 1050 Alize, a three seat French-built
carrier-borne anti-submarine aircraft, the equivalent to the
British Fairey Gannet or the US S2F Tracker.
The Alize prototype
first flew in 1956, being a development of the
earlier Vultur
aircraft. Production aircraft first flew in 1959 and 75
examples were
delivered to the Aeronavale (the French Navy air
arm). 12
examples were also supplied to the Indian Navy for
operation off
the Indian carrier Vikrant. (Additional examples were
later supplied
to India from surplus Aeronavale examples.)
The CD has been scanned
from the original manuals and retains
any colour pages.
This CD contains:
1. Flight Handbook
for the Breguet 1050 Alize. There is no indication
on the manual who produced it, but presumably it was produced
by the manufacturer. There is no date anywhere on the manual but
I would estimate it is from the early 1960's. The illustration on
the
cover is of the aircraft in Indian Navy colours, so presumably
the
manual was produced for them. The manual is in English, though
all the illustrations retain their original French. It contains
207
pages. Nice illustrations.
2. Aeronavale
Manuel de l'Equipage (Flight Handbook) for the Breguet 3.
Colour brochure titled Breguet 1050 Alize 1959 - 2000, produced
1050 Alize Modernise. Dated 1982 this covers the Alize
with
updated ASW equipment, and is similar in format to
the first manual
but in the French language. Manual UCB/AN.01.E with
333 pages.
to commemorate the ending of Alize service in the Aeronavale.
