Société Provençale De Constructions Aéronautiques
The ''Société Provençale de Constructions Aéronautiques'' (SPCA) was a French aircraft manufacturing company, with its head office in Paris and its workshop in La Ciotat near Marseille. History Founded by Georges Philippar in 1925, SPCA began as a subsidiary venture of SPCN ( Société Provençale de Constructions Navales) shipbuilding company. Initially this aircraft builder was known particularly for its seaplanes. None of the aircraft made by SPCA was built in large numbers. Part of them never even made it past the prototype stage, such as the 1928 SPCA 10, often known as the SPCA Paulhan-Pillard after its designers Louis Paulhan and engineer Pillard. In the early 1930s SPCA built the SPCA Hermès 60T, a twin-engined flying boat, the small, single-engined SPCA 80 ''avion "de police coloniale"'' and the three-engined SPCA 90, an airliner and ambulance aircraft. In 1936 SPCA was nationalized and merged in 1937 with Lioré et Olivier, Potez, CAMS and Romano Romano m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The company was formed on February 1, 1937, by the nationalization and merger of Lioré et Olivier, Potez, CAMS, Romano and SPCA. History Following the resolution of the 1936 general strike of French heavy industry, the government of Léon Blum introduced an act to nationalize the French war industry. The act provided for the creation of seven nationalized aeronautical manufacturing companies: six for aircraft (SNCASE, SNCASO, SNCAN, SNCAO, SNCAM, SNCAC), and one for aircraft engines ( SNCM - Lorraine-Dietrich). SNCASE incorporated the facilities of Potez in Berre-l'Étang, CAMS in Vitrolles, Romano in Cannes, SPCA in Marseille and Lioré et Olivier at Argenteuil and Marignane.

SPCA 30
The SPCA 30, also known as SPCA Type III, was a French bomber aircraft built by the Société Provençale de Constructions Aéronautiques (SPCA).

In response, SPCA designed an all-metal twin boom low wing monoplane, the SPCA 30, the only twin boom aircraft entered into the contest. The aircraft's central fuselage had two open cockpits offset to port, and a machine gun mount in the nose, while two more machine gun mounts were in the tailbooms. Two prototypes were completed late in 1930. The first one, registration ''F-AKCA'' was fitted with two Lorraine-Dietrich 18Kd water-cooled W engines engines, and made its first flight on 1 F ...
