The Backbone of the French Bomber Command
The LeO 451 aircraft was characterized by exceptionally clean aerodynamic shapes, high speed, and strong defensive armament, dominated by a 20mm dorsal cannon. Although its introduction into service was slow and it had to face the overwhelming numerical superiority of the German Luftwaffe during the Battle of France in 1940, it proved its undeniable qualities and became a symbol of the bravery of French bomber crews.
