First flying in July 1918, the Blériot 73 was a four engined French bomber with the fuselage suspended from the lower wing. The four engines were placed as close as possible to the fuselage, with two on the upper wing and two on the lower wing. The Blériot 73 disintegrated during a test flight on 22 January 1919 killing the pilot.
The Blériot 67 was a four-engined French bomber from the First World War. The four engines were placed as close as possible to the fuselage in a rectangular pattern. The fuselage was suspended midway between the two wings. The bomber crashed on landing during its first flight on 18 September 1916 and was completely destroyed.
The Lioré et Olivier LeO H-46 was a bomber seaplane first flown in May 1936. Designed to replaced older biplane seaplanes, it was an all-metal monoplane capable of carrying a 1,000 kg bomb load or one torpedo. Initial tests were promising, but an accident caused severe damage, which was followed by an extended period for repairs. This, combined with changing priorities resulted in the cancellation of the program and the H-46 was scrapped in 1940.
