| The Late 26 (about 70 were built during 1928-30 mainly for Aeropostale) was primarily a mailplane, although it accommodated two passengers. The crew sat in tandem open cockpits. Power was provided by a
450hp Renault 12Ja engine in the
Late 26.2R and a 500hp Renault
12Jb in the Late 26.6R.

| Alan Peacock, e-mail, 31.10.2020 15:27 F-AJAF appears in my father's album of pictures taken in Iraq in the 1920s. reply | | Gernot.Hirsinger, e-mail, 05.01.2010 19:04 The text above states "two passengers".
My "History of aviation in Trinidad & Tobago" quotes that "On Friday, 29th August 1930, a French four-passenger aircraft F-AJGE landed on Queen's Park Savannah bringing Mr. Paul Vachet and his wife." The corresponding photograph shows a LATE 26. Was it a four-passenger aircraft or has the author confused 2 crew + 2 passengers as being equivalent to 4 passengers? reply | | Carlos Eduardo Porto, e-mail, 22.07.2009 17:51 I build one aermodel with 2 metter of the wing, because in 1929 crash in may citi, Florianopolis In Santa Catarina Brazil.It fly like a bird, slowly and calm. reply | | Marcelo Cal, e-mail, 22.04.2008 17:55 There is now an exemplary survivor who has flown for Aeropostale?.
