Title: LIORE et OLIVIER LeO 20

The French Liore et Olivier company built the LeO 12 night bomber in 1924 but it failed to attract orders from the French military. One example was modified with new engines and greater armament as the LeO 122 but again attracted little interest.

The LeO 122 was modified to the new LeO 20 model, and this won a 1926 French military contest for a new night bomber, and an order for 50 was placed. Just over 300 were eventually built, the last being delivered in 1932, and they remained in service until 1939 by which time they were completely obsolete. A number of derivative models were also produced including some with four engines (two pull and two push).

This title contains the French military technical manual for the LeO 20, a technical brochure on the LeO 20 and derivatives, and a NACA descriptive circular for the LeO 12. The files have been scanned from the original manuals and retain any colour pages unless otherwise stated.
