Latecoere Lt de Vaisseau Paris F-NORD

GreyOldDave
 

From my reading of Berry's book there were several trips by two different Late 521s
The F-NORD flew to and from Foynes and Biscarrosse on 15/7/28
The F-ARAP flew to and from Foynes and Biscarrosse on 6/6/39
The F-ARAP flew to and from Ft. Washington to Botwood to Biscarrosse on 3/8/39
The F-NORD flew from Ft. Washington to Botwood to Biscarrosse on 27/8/39

This book would not record a direct flight from NY to Biscarrosse.

I an certain that this is not all there is to these trips.

According to the book "The History of Air Cargo & Airmail" by Camille Allaz, the Late 521 flew non-stop from Port Washington to Biscarosse in 28 hours, 27 minutes. 

I cannot find any record of it stopping in Newfoundland.

Wikipedia says the Late 521 flew direct from Port Washington (Pan Am's pre-war New York base) to Biscarosse, but Peter Berry's Botwood, Newfoundland log has it listed  on 27August 1939 (so did it pick up fuel there?)  M West
