SNCAC NC.1070 French Torpedo Bomber

The SNCAC NC.1070 was a piston engined attack and torpedo bomber designed and built in France shortly after World War II. The NC.1070 was first flown on 23 May 1947. Tests continued into 1948 but, piloted by Fernand Lasne, it was seriously damaged in a belly landing at Toussus-le-Noble Airport on 9 March 1948 and did not fly again. Instead, SNCAC concentrated on the jet powered second prototype, the NC.1071.
