  Potez 630 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Potez 630 and its derivatives were a family of multi-role twin-engined aircraft developed for the Armée de l'Air in the late 1930s.
The Potez 633 saw only brief operational service with the Armée de l'Air in Europe when aircraft from two units undertook a sortie near Arras on May 20 1940; two days later the aircraft was withdrawn from front-line service.
A small number of Potez 633 originally destined for China were commandeered by the French colonial administration in Indo-China and saw limited action in the brief Franco-Thai war in early 1941.

 Broplan 1/72 Potez 25A2
First flown in 1924, the Potez 25 was a sturdy-looking unequal-span biplane built with the ability to accommodate several different power plants, engineering stretch into the aircraft in an era when designs came and went rapidly.
The landing gear was a cross-axle design that incorporated Potez' own shock absorbers, and the plane was even considered a candidate for the first non-stop trans-Atlantic flight until Lindbergh beat the French team to the punch.
The Potez 25 saw action with the Chinese against the Japanese, the Paraguayans against the Bolivians, and the Ethiopians against the Italians.

Twenty Potez 633B2s were received in 1939 and were immediately impressed into service in the 2nd Bomber Group.
Some Potez 633B2s were used as reconnaissance aircraft during the Stalingrad campaign in the 3rd Long Range Recon Squadron.
Because the 3rd Bomber Group was going to convert to the Ju-87D, the Potez 633B2s were assigned to the 1st Fighter Flotilla as trainers for night fighter pilots.

 Potez 230
While possessing a number of features in common with the earlier fighter (eg, elliptical wings), the new aircraft was of more advanced design.
Powered by a 670 hp Hispano-Suiza l2Xcrs 12-cylinder liquid-cooled engine and having proposed armament of one engine-mounted 20-mm cannon and four wing-mounted 7,5-mm machine guns, the Potez 230 was flown on 30 March 1940.
When German forces occupied Villacoublay, the sole prototype of the Potez 230 was seized and transported to Germany for examination of the wing torsion box, which, of integral construction, was the first of its type to have been flown.

 WW2 Warbirds: the Potez 63 - Frans Bonné
Potez offered its Potez 63 design created by a team headed by Louis Coroller with M.Delaruelle, as a cantilever monoplane of basically stressed-skin light alloy construction with a slim, oval-section fuselage built in three sections (semi-monocoque nose and tail sections attached to a four-longeron central section).
The Potez 63.01 prototype made its first flight in April 1936 with a temporary wooden tail unit that was designed to allow the easy change of its vertical surfaces so that the right size and shape could be developed experimentally.
It was based on the Potez 631, with the central fuselage adapted to carry an extensively glazed observation gondola of 1 ft 7.75 inch (0.50 inch m) deep.

Ethiopia began the formation of a small air arm in 1929, with the delivery of a Potez 25 A2 to the capital Addis Ababa on 18 August 1929.
Several Ethiopian and foreign accounts of the 1930s note the Potez primarily for how slow it was relative to other aircraft worldwide and in the Ethiopian inventory.
I flew there on January 16 along with the British Military Attache, Major Holt, in a cabin single engine Potez, (with canvas fuselage and wooden frame) piloted by Michka Babichef, another kilis [person of mixed race], the son of a White Russian father and Ethiopian mother.

When the Potez 63 assembly lines fell into German hands shortly before 25th June 1940 (the armistice date), 1,115 machines of five various types had been produced, a total far exceeding that of any other French warplane of the 1935-40 period.
The five main variants were: Potez 630 and 631 two/three-seat day and night fighters, Potez 633 two-seat light bombers, Potez 637 three-seat reconnaissance aircraft, Potez 63.11 army co-operation three-seaters.

 The Potez coil ignition
Where most aircraft engines have magnetos, Potez chose a different route, much more styled after automotive practices.
Since it still is an aero engine, one would expect to find a redundant ignition system, so that when one half fails, the other half will still keep the engine running.
The thing that makes this engine so interesting is that Potez has chosen to supply the power for one half of its ignition from the battery, and the other half from the alternator or generator.

 1/72 Azur Potez 452 by Caz Dalton
When the French Navy needed new seaplanes for scout observation purposes, Potez put forth two designs, the Potez 452 (two-seater) and Potez 453 (single-seater), both of which featured a high parasol wing single-engine seaplane.
The planes were designed for catapult launches and 17 of the 452 two-seat design were constructed beginning in February of 1935.
It was hoped by Potez that Spain would acquire a license to construct the 452 and in February 1936, Spain signed a contract to do so, but the Spanish Civil War changed that.
