ANF Les Mureaux 190

The ANF Les Mureaux 190 was a French prototype light fighter aircraft. In response to a program created by the French Minister of Air, the ANF Les Mureaux 190 was designed by André Brunet as a light fighter. The ANF Les Mureaux 190 was an all-metal monoplane, and was first tested in July 1936, then taken to the 15th Paris Air Show in late November,[1] where it was asserted to be very manoeuvrable. However, less than a year later, the project was abandoned due to the poor quality of its engine.
