The Morane-Saulnier M.S. 406 was a French fighter aircraft developed and manufactured by Morane-Saulnier starting in 1938.> It was France's most manufactured fighters during the Second World War and one of only two French designs to exceed 1,000 in number. At the beginning of the war, it was one of only two French-built aircraft capable of 400 km/h (250 mph) – the other being the Potez 630.

The M.S. 406 was a low-wing monoplane of mixed construction, with fabric-covered wooden tail, with a bonded metal–wood material (Plymax) skin fixed to duralumin tubing. Plymax consisted of a thin sheet of duralumin bonded to a thicker sheet of plywood. Morane-Saulnier had a long history of producing warplanes dating back to the pre-First World War years but in the inter-war period, they had concentrated on civil designs. The aircraft was a departure for them, being their first low-wing monoplane, first with an enclosed cockpit and first with retracting landing gear.

It was powered by a Hispano-Suiza 12Y-31 engine, which provided 860 hp. It was armed with one 20mm Hispano-Suiza HS.404 cannon in the engine and two 7.5 mm MAC 1934 machine guns in the wings. The aircraft had a top speed of 420 km/h (260 mph) and a service ceiling of 30,000 ft (9,100 m).

The M.S. 406 entered service with the French Air Force in 1939. It was initially praised for its good handling and maneuverability. However, it quickly became apparent that the aircraft was underpowered and outgunned by its German opponents, particularly the Messerschmitt Bf 109E.

Despite its shortcomings, the M.S. 406 played a significant role in the Battle of France. French M.S. 406s claimed to have shot down over 400 German aircraft during the campaign. However, French losses were also high, with over 400 M.S. 406s being lost.

After the fall of France, the M.S. 406 continued to be used by the Vichy French Air Force and the Free French Air Force. It was also used by a number of other air forces, including those of Finland, Switzerland, and Bulgaria.

The Morane-Saulnier M.S. 406 KG200 was a variant of the M.S. 406 that was developed specifically for the Swiss Air Force. It was powered by a Hispano-Suiza 12Y-45 engine, which provided 935 hp. It was also equipped with a number of other modifications, including a new propeller, new landing gear, and a new armament system.

The M.S. 406 KG200 first flew in 1942 and entered service with the Swiss Air Force in 1943. It served with the Swiss Air Force until 1954.

Today, there are only a few Morane-Saulnier M.S. 406s still in existence. One of these is a M.S. 406 KG200, which is preserved at the Swiss Museum of Transport in Lucerne, Switzerland.

We show the Morane Saulnier in a German livery as following the occupation of France, manufacture continued under German supervision and the Germans used them  particularly for training purposes. They also shipped a small quantity to Croatia. The type was also used by Finland, Switzerland and Turkey.

Our example shows one of the MS 406 in German Luftwaffe livery from 1943 It features the dark green and grey camouflaged upper body with mottled blue fuselage and yellow underbelly and tail. The tail also features the German Swastika in black. The markings along the fuselage and underside are also painted black with the German cross having a white outer edge.  The retracted wheels are black with silver hubs. The exhaust is painted a rusty brown and the guns matt black.

Easy and exciting
Format: Paperback
3.5⭐️ I didn't know that this book was the third part of the Campus Police series. But it reads well as a stand-alone book. The first two books are about the other two couples who also appear here. This time, the story revolves around Cappy, who is back after a few weeks away and her grandfather's funeral, and Jazz, a librarian with a special flair for decorating her office. In this short time, a lot has changed in Cappy's personal life, and she has to get used to it all again. Brian, a talented football player who was forced to completely change his life after a traffic accident, is found dead. Initially, it is classified as suicide, but Jazz insists on a more thorough investigation of the case, as she is convinced that Brian was looking forward to the future despite adverse circumstances. Cappy is assigned to determine whether it was a crime. The interviews Cappy conducted to uncover all the circumstances and background information were interesting. However, I found it a little strange that a civilian was allowed to attend these interviews. Jazz and Cappy have mutual friends who are all professionally involved with the campus. The banter between them is amusing, and the romance between Cappy and Jazz is nice and sweet. An easy-to-read book with amusing and likable characters, good and witty dialogue, and some suspense.

Very enjoyable read.
Format: Kindle
I believe this is the third installment of the ‘ University Police Series’ and the best part of a series like this is the reader gets to meet up with the cast of characters from Ms Walsh’s first two books. The first book introduced us to a group of professors, four to be exact and in each book we get to read about romance and crime.. The University Campus Police are the ones these professor’s turn to when there is unfortunately a murder on campus. This time it’s Professor Jazz Harald that seeks the help of the police when one of the students she knows has decided to end his own life. Jazz doesn’t believe the police reports so she reaches out to the campus police, Officer Cappy Flannery. Cappy has read the report herself, even visited the apartment where the young student lived. She agrees with the report but she also reluctantly agrees with Jazz the case should be investigated. If you have read the first two books then you’re in for a treat, if you hadn’t read the first two books you might find yourself lost because Walsh brings in everyone or so it seems from the two stories. It might be a good idea to read the first two. Very enjoyable read. ARC via NetGalley/ Bold Stroke Books

Good book
Format: Kindle
This is the third book in the series. In this installment, Cappy investigates the suicide of the star football player. Jazz, the librarian and a member of Libby's friend group, does not believe it was a suicide and is assisting Cappy with the investigation. I didn't enjoy this book as much as the first two; the pace was slow at the beginning, but it improved towards the end. Although this book can be read as a standalone, I recommend reading the series in order. Overall, I would still recommend this book. I received an arc

Wonderful read.
Format: Kindle
What a wonderful story. Nora and Fallon were meant to be together, although it took them forever to figure it out. The MC’s were well developed and described, and the scenery was detailed beautifully. This is the first book I’ve read by this author, but it certainly won’t be the last. Well done. I received an ARC from NetGalley, and am leaving this review voluntarily.

Second-chance, slow-burn sapphic romance
Format: Paperback
"Firecamp" by Jaycie Morrison is a second-chance sapphic romance that includes an emotionally-charged slow burn romance and a time-jump. MCs Nora and Fallon come from very different circumstances, but are thrown together along with six other women at Firecamp where they all must work to help mitigate wildfires. Both emotionally immature and carrying their own baggage, Nora and Fallon's young romance ends with a bang. Ten years later, with their careers leading the way, they are forced back together. What follows is a slow burn, second-chance romance that is less naive but no less passionate. This was my first book by Jaycie Morrison, but it definitely won't be my last. I really enjoyed the way she developed Nora & Fallon independently and together as well as the "side action" that we saw with Nora's family, especially her younger brother Tyler. I was initially drawn to the story because it was set in the Colorado wildfire scene & I loved how that was portrayed. Thank you NetGalley and Bold Strokes Books for the eARC.
