Amiot 354 B.4


The French twin-engined all-metal Amiot 354 bomber was one of a number of machines being prepared for the rearmament of the French Air Force, the largest number of the modern Amiot 340/350 machines being built. It differed from the previous Amiot 351 primarily by its simple tail surfaces and 14N 48/49 engines.

The first flight of the Amiot 354 took place in January 1940, production ramp-up was rapid, and by the time the Armistice was concluded in June 1940, more than 60 units had been delivered, the most of the entire line of Amiot 340/350. In total, 86 Amiot's of this series were delivered to the Army, including prototypes.

The triplets served with the GB I/34 and GB II/34 squadrons, and later squadrons of the GB I/21 and GB II/21, ten machines were used in schools for training. The first combat action of this type was a reconnaissance flight over Holland on 16 May 1940 to the Maastricht area. Until 17.6. 1940 when all airworthy aircraft flew to Africa on the order of the air force command 3 machines were lost in combat. 37 machines flew to Africa and briefly operated against the Italians. In August 1940 the machines returned to France and the units were disbanded, some of the machines were handed over for mail flights (under Air France) the rest were stored. Four of these machines were used by the Germans after the occupation of the rest of France. One was recovered after the liberation of France and put into airworthy condition, and flew as a liaison until 1946.

Most of the machines used MAC 1934 machine guns, some of the older ones used Darne machine guns instead of cannon. The same was true for other versions, MAC machine guns were in short supply and the army could not supply them for production, so older guns were fitted. In retrospect, the MAC machine guns supplied were then fitted to older machines, whether this was done for all of them by the end of the fighting I have not been able to find out.
