Abstract

In the late 1920s, several European aviation companies began manufacturing aircraft designed to transport the wounded and sick to hospitals by air. Their samples were showed in the spring of 1929 to specialists and participants of the First International Congress of Air Ambulance at an exhibition at Orly Airport in Paris. simplify the procedure for loading and unloading the wounded (sick) on board and make the flight comfortable enough for them. An analysis of literary primary sources, some of which belong to the congress participants, allows us to restore many of the facts of the creation and fate of these unique aircraft. The variety of developments presented testified to the interest that aircraft manufacturers showed in creating models designed for air evacuation of the wounded and sick. The aircraft became an integral part of the system of medical and evacuation support for the troops and was considered as an important element in the provision of emergency medical care to the civilian population.
