The Latecoere 300 flew for the first time in 1931 and then had to be rebuilt after sinking.
It was flown again in 1932 as the Croix du Sud parasol-wing monoplane flying-boat with four
484.4kW Hispano-Suiza 12NBr water-cooled engines in tandem pairs. On 31 December 1933 it
achieved an international record by covering 3,679km non-stop.
