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. Société des Avions Max Holste produced 363 aircraft between 1954 and 1961. AviatorDB tracks 10 Avions Max Holste aircraft currently registered in the FAA database.
