Salmson 2A2 in French Service

By Bob Pearson

 

History

The Salmson 2A2 entered frontline service in October 1917, and by the end of WWI had built a reputation for ruggedness and accomplishment among those who flew them.

In an era when most aircraft used rotary or inline aircraft, the Salmson made use of a nine cylinder radial engine which gave it a top speed of 115 mph.

Besides France, other users of the Salmson include; the Americans, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Peru and Japan. The Japanese were to licence build around 300 of them between 1921 and 1927.
