And Sub-Ouest S.O.4000. In 1944, Luftwaffe issued an requirement to aviation industries for a heavy transport airplane as a prospective replacement for the Messerschmitt Me.322 Gigant. Breguet submitted the Br.760 proposal, and a design study have been undertaken. Development was delayed due to war situation. After D-day, French government could not afford second transport airplane other than the Sud-Est Se.161. Funding for the Br.760 project finally was found in 1949. Breguet decided to build three pre-production Br.761. The first Br.761 flew in 1951. At the time the French African colonies were beginning to revolt and the French Air Force urgently needed extra airlift capacity. A bigger Br.763 Provence was ordered for emergency trooping work. In 1955, the French Air Force wanted a more range Br.765 Sahara that it could use to Saigon and Tahiti. In 1974, after French nuclear testing finished, the military Pacific services supporting was no longer needed. All the Sahara were retired and scrapped in 1976.
