The Salmson Phrygane ("Caddisfly") was a French light aircraft of the 1930s.

Design and production

The Phrygane was a conventional, high-wing strut-braced monoplane with fixed tailwheel undercarriage and a fully enclosed cabin for the pilot and either two or four passengers, depending on the version. Salmson sold about 25 examples before the outbreak of World War II.

Following the war, CFA attempted to revive the design, but only four examples were built.

Operational history

The Phrygane was flown by private pilot owners and by aero clubs. Several examples of this aircraft design survived the war and a few postwar modified aircraft were built by CFA. A D-211 was still in service with Avia Nord at Lille Lesquin airfield during July 1965.
