History
It was a low-wing cantilever monoplane of conventional design with fixed tailwheel undercarriage, and first flew on 15 April 1933. Power came from a 450 hp Lorraine-Dietrich 12Eb engine.
Variants
Three were built, named General San Martín, Deán Funes and Jorge Newbery.
Where you'll see it
The three aircraft provided Argentina's first scheduled airline services with Aero-Argentina, flying between Córdoba and Buenos Aires. The Deán Funes also made a 6,500 km flight to Ushuaia, bringing the first mail to that town.
