The Latécoère 28 was a long-distance monoplane designed and produced by Latécoère and first flown in 1927. It had a fixed tailwheel undercarriage and an enclosed cockpit for a crew of two, and in airline form it could seat up to eight passengers. It was built in both landplane and floatplane versions and marketed as a mail plane and passenger airliner. The type became the mainstay of Aéropostale, the predecessor of Air France, which used it heavily in the 1930s to open intercontinental airmail services, and its pilots included Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and Jean Mermoz.
