Breda Ba.33 J-BANC

Breda Ba.33 J-BANC:
On April 23, 1932, at Haneda airfield, there was a ceremony held by Osaka Mainichi Shimbun to present the two latest additions to the newspaper fleet; a Breda 33 and a Lockheed Altair. On that day pilot Okura flew with the Breda33 for the first time with Minister of Communication Mitsuchi Chuzo as passenger.
The Breda 33 became the 23rd plane in the newspaper’s fleet and received the registration J-BANC. It was destroyed in Hiroshima’s Army training field (date unknown).

昭和7年4月23日、羽田飛行場にて大阪毎日新聞社の新鋭機2機(ブレダ33とロッキード アルテア)の披露式が行われた。三土忠造逓信大臣は大蔵飛行士操縦のブレダ33に初めて同乗飛行を行った。
ブレダ33は大阪毎日新聞社23号機、登録記号J-BANC.
広島練兵場で大破したとのことだが、日時は不明。


Note that in this in-flight photo the aircraft doesn't carry any hinomaru on the wings. These were added at some later date.


Japanese modeller "Avion Road" shared with us photos of his incredibly beautiful model in 1/72 by French resin maker Dujin. Don't forget to visit his site (HERE) for more civilian and pre-war Japanese aircraft models, more photos of which we hope to feature soon.
