After a first attempt that remained inconspicuous, the success of a second generation of aeroplanes (MB 81, MB 120 and MB 200) enabled Marcel Bloch to become an aeroplane manufacturer after all. He then set his teams a major challenge to create a third generation of aeroplanes, notably the MB 130, MB 131, MB 210 and MB 220 models, which would make him one of the major French aeroplane manufacturers of the first half of the 1930s. Four years after his return to aviation, Potez, Breguet, Morane, Loire and Hanriot were producing Marcel Bloch aeroplanes. Find out how he turned bitter technical failures into resounding successes. How failed prototypes became some of the best French aeroplanes. But nationalisation and technical polemics, compounded by the rise of anti-Semitic sentiment, put the brakes on his extraordinary development. This second part sheds light on the successes and begins with the first difficulties of Marcel Bloch and his aeroplanes.
