The ANF Les Mureaux 120 was a 1930s French three-seat military night reconnaissance monoplane built by ANF Les Mureaux.[1]
Design and development[edit]
The 120 was designed to meet a 1928 French Aéronautique Militaire requirement for a three-seat night reconnaissance aircraft.[1] The 120 was a high-wing monoplane powered by two 300 hp (224 kW) Lorraine Algol engines.[1] The prototype was first flown in 1931 and was followed by a second aircraft, designated ANF Les Mureaux 121, powered by 300 hp (224 kW) Gnome-Rhône 7Kb engines.[1] The aircraft failed to gain any interest from the French military and did not enter production.[1]
