Morane-Saulnier (MoS) Type AI


This aircraft resides at the Fantasy of Flight Museum, in Polk City, FL, USA. This particular machine was purchased by the USAS as a trainer, ended up as part of the Tall-Mantz collection and was eventually purchased by Kermit Weeks.

The Escadrille emblem on this particular MoS AI is for Escadrille 15 - an Escadrille not known to have flown the Type AI. The three recorded Escadrilles that flew the AI were MSP 156, MSP 158 and MSP 161. Unfortunately little is known - and no known photographs exist - of Escadrille 161.
