The Besson H-6 was a French single-seat postal flying-boat designed by the Marcel Besson company of Boulogne.[1]
The H-6 was a single-seat triplane flying-boat powered by a Clerget 9B radial piston engine. The engine was mounted on the leading edge of the centre wing and drove a tractor propeller.[1]
The H-6 was displayed at the 1921 Salon de l'Aeronautique in Paris.[1][2]
