Bloch MB.134 French Bomber Prototype
The Bloch MB.134 made its maiden flight on 22 July 1939. A development of the Bloch MB.131, it was designed as a medium bomber for the French Air Force. Heavily redesigned, it bore little resemblance to the MB.131 it was derived from. It was developed in parallel with the four engined MB.135 bomber version.
A landing accident on 21 April 1940 resulted in seriously damage when a landing gear strut collapsed following the in-flight failure of a hydraulic fluid reservoir. With the fall of France it was not repaired and no further development took place.
