DescriptionMorane-Saulnier AI with the Swiss Air Force.jpg
English: Morane-Saulnier AN with the Swiss Air Force This photo shows the only known Morane-Saulnier Type AI MoS.30 E1 in Switzerland. The individual standing next to it is Léon Progin, a test pilot for the Swiss air force and a test pilot of the Eidgenössische Konstruktionswerkstätte (K+W) Thun. He purchased this aircraft privately from France in March 1920. However, he was killed while attempting a risky maneuver at a public air show demonstration on 21 November 1920 in Tafers, Switzerland.
This aircraft appears in Swiss national markings; those on the wings were painted over the French roundels and a similar style marking was added to both sides of the rudder. The aircraft is not armed. It is finished in the French 1918 five-color camouflage scheme with blanc bleuté (aluminum dope) on the under-surfaces, wheel covers, and landing gear struts (except outer facings). Note the Morane-Saulnier logo on the cowling
