Lioré-et-Olivier LeO 45 was a French medium bomber used during World War II. It was a low-wing monoplane all metal in construction equipped with a retractable undercarriage and powered by two 1060 hp Gnome-Rhône 14N engines. The prototype had two 1100 hp Hispano-Suiza engines. It was a very effective bomber but it appeared too late to give any substantial contribution to the war effort. Although designed before World War II it remained in service until September 1957.
