Original 1926 Air Union Photograph

Strong Paper and photographic Emulsion

"The Blériot 165 (or Bl-165) was a French Airliner of the 1920s.
She was a four-engined Biplane, a final Development in the Family of Designs that began with the Blériot 115.

Two were built for Air Union to replace the Farman Goliath on their Paris–London Route, and were christened Leonardo DA VINCI and Octave CHANUTE.

The Airline found that it preferred the Lioré-et-Olivier LéO 21s, that it had ordered alongside this Aircraft, meaning that no further examples were produced."
