Valom 1/144 Salmson 2 A2 (Double Set) # 14430

The Salmson 2 A2 was a French single-engine reconnaissance biplane aircraft developed during World War I.

It was designed to provide reconnaissance and artillery observation support for ground troops.

The Salmson 2 A2 was powered by a Salmson CM.9 water-cooled radial engine and had a maximum speed of around 107 miles per hour.

It had a range of approximately 280 miles and could fly up to an altitude of around 16,000 feet.

The aircraft was armed with two machine guns, one in the observer’s cockpit and one in the rear cockpit, and could carry up to 220 pounds of bombs.

During the war, the Salmson 2 A2 was used extensively by French and Belgian air forces.

It was praised for its reliability, ruggedness, and ease of handling, and was considered to be one of the best reconnaissance aircraft of its time.

The aircraft’s biplane design gave it excellent maneuverability, and it was able to operate from rough or improvised airfields.

Despite its success in the war, the Salmson 2 A2 was gradually replaced by more modern aircraft in the post-war years.

However, a few examples of the aircraft remained in service with various air forces until the 1930s.

Today, a few examples of the Salmson 2 A2 can still be seen in museums and private collections around the world.
