The ”’Lioré et Olivier LeO H-47”’ was a flying boat airliner built in France in 1936.<ref name=’Jane’s ‘>Taylor 1989, 580</ref> Designed in response to a French air ministry specification for passenger transports to service transatlantic routes to South America, it was a conventional, high-wing design with the cabin and flight deck fully enclosed within a streamlined hull. The four engines were mounted in two tractor-pusher pairs on the upper wing.

The prototype H-47 was destroyed in a crash in March 1937 that was attributed to a wingtip float breaking away whilst the aircraft was in flight.<ref name=’Flight 1937′>”Flight” 14 October 1937, 374</ref> Nevertheless, [[Air France]] went ahead with the purchase of five similar (though strengthened) machines, which were put into service as mailplanes.<ref name=’Jane’s’ /> These machines were impressed into the French Navy at the outbreak of the Second World War.<ref name=’Jane’s’ />
