The 110 was a long-distance record aircraft designed by Filippo Zappata in answer to a late-1920s requirement of the French Air Ministry “Service Technique”. First flown on the spring of 1930, the 110 broke three times the close-circuit endurance record in 1932. Renamed “Joseph Le Brix”, it also set a new straight-line distance record in 1933. Other records were attempted but without further luck. The aircraft was unceremoniously scrapped in 1935. A shame.
I’ve skipped the description of the 110 because this superb drawing does a magnificent job.

So, the concept of “no direct front view, only tanks” was not exclusive of the Spirit of St. Louis. Nice to know, thanks.
My pleasure.
