ACE 72266 P-107 Aviation tractor (AFN)

Unic P107 is a French half-track transporter from the interwar period and World War II. The first prototypes appeared in 1934, and serial production continued in 1935-1940. Approximately 3,300 vehicles of this type were built in its course. The drive was provided by a single 4-cylinder engine with a capacity of 3.4 liters and 62 HP. The cart was 4.85 m long and 1.8 m wide.

The P107 transporter was originally developed by Citroen as a successor to the Citroen-Kegresse P.17 transporter. However, due to the enormous problems of the company, the rights to its production and the patent for the suspension were bought by the Unic plant, which also launched the production of this car for the needs of the French armed forces. In the French army, the Unic P107 was used primarily as an infantry transporter and artillery tractor for towing cannons with a caliber of 75-105 mm. After the defeat of France in 1940, many cars of this type entered service in the German army. A large part of the Unic P107 vehicles were modernized and served as armored personnel carriers. It is worth noting that about 60 Unic P107 vehicles were ordered by Poland in August 1939, but unfortunately the ordered cars did not reach our country before the outbreak of the war.
