I'll give you both a split, 60% for Terminus for being exact & 40% to trojan for calling it A really ugly French bomber, a Amiot [:)]

The original flew in 1931 with an open cockpit (that must have been fairly good looking) and closed it in 1935 when it entered service, it also had 6 jettisonable fuel tanks.
According to the source, 60 of the Amiot 143 were still in service at the begining of WWII. Those that survived the fall of France became transports.
Amiot shown is sometime during 1941 as part of the "2e Escadrille of Groupe de Bombardement I/38"
