Historical background of the Nord Pingouin aircraft

The Nord 1000, 1001, and 1002 Pingouin are French variants of the iconic German Bf 108 Taifun training aircraft, produced during World War II and shortly after its end. After the liberation of France, the Nord Aviation company took over production of this aircraft in Saint-Nazaire, using both German-supplied parts and their own design solutions. Nord Pingouin aircraft served mainly in the French Air Force (Armée de l'Air) and were used as training, transport, and liaison aircraft up until the 1950s, and even longer in French flying clubs. Example application: these planes were used in the training of both military and civil pilots during the post-war rebuilding of French aviation.
