The Bloch MB.300 Pacifique (a.k.a. La Grosse Julie, "Big Julie") was a French all-metal three-engine monoplane that was developed to enter service as an Air France airliner. Though a single prototype was produced by Société des Avions Marcel Bloch in 1935, it was eventually rejected by Air France circa 1938.

Design and development
Test flight happened on November 15 or November 16, 1935 at the Villacoublay airfield with test pilots André Curvale and Jean Lapeyr. The prototype (F-AONB) went under a serie of modifications in early 1936 then again in March 1937. Passengers number was then reduced from 30 to 24.
It officially entered in service with the Air France fleet in January 1938 (as F-AOUI). Its fate is unknown, but it was reportedly delivered to Spain.[1]

Die Bloch MB.300 Pacific war ein dreimotoriges Verkehrsflugzeug des französischen Herstellers Societé des Avions Marcel Bloch aus den 1930er-Jahren. Da der Prototyp nicht überzeugen konnte, wurden keine weiteren Exemplare gebaut. Aufgrund seiner Ausmaße erhielt das Flugzeug den Spitznamen „La Grosse Julie“.- [en] Bloch MB.300 Pacifique

Le Bloch MB.300 Pacifique est un avion de transport commercial trimoteur français de l'entre-deux-guerres. Développé pour Air France mais accepté trop tard par celle-ci pour pouvoir donner suite à une fabrication en série avant la guerre, il disparut, comme d'autres prototypes français en 1940.[ru] Bloch MB.300
Bloch MB.300 Pacifique (также известен как La Grosse Julie, «Большая Жюли») — французский цельнометаллический трёхмоторный авиалайнер, разработанный в межвоенный период компанией Bloch для Air France. Единственный прототип был выпущен в 1935 году, однако, из-за связанных с доработками задержек, он был получен заказчиком лишь тремя годами позже, что резко уменьшило шансы на его серийное производство. Предположительно продан Республиканской Испании.Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
