The Latham 43 was a flying boat bomber built in France in the 1920s for service with the French Navy. It was a conventional design for its day - a two-bay biplane with unstaggered wings and engines mounted tractor-fashion on struts in the interplane gap. The pilot sat in an open cockpit with a gunner in an open bow position and another in an open position amidships.
