development
Since the French government required a single-engine transport monoplane for use in the colonial areas, the Société Provençale de Constructions Aéronautiques constructed a cantilever high-decker with a rigid tailspur landing gear in the early 1930s. The aircraft, which was powered by a Gnome-Rhône radial engine, could carry four passengers. The first flight was on March 30, 1932.
