The Max Holste MH-1521 Broussard was France's answer to the de Havilland Beaver, serving as a rugged utility aircraft that earned the nickname "French Beaver" for its exceptional short-field performance. First flown on November 17, 1952, it was a high-wing, twin-tailed monoplane powered by a 451-horsepower Pratt & Whitney R-985 radial engine and could carry up to seven occupants. With a takeoff distance of less than 900 feet when fully loaded, the Broussard proved invaluable in austere environments during the Algerian War.
