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 Potez (pronounced ) ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

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. This arrangement of its firing stations, which left no field uncovered by defensive fire, was intended to permit the aircraft to effectively defend its ...
