V Max Holste MH.1521 Broussard was a versatile and rugged utility aircraft that served in various roles for the French military and civil operators. Designed by engineer Max Holste in the early 1950s, the Broussard was a high-wing monoplane with a metal structure and fabric covering. It had a fixed tailwheel landing gear and a powerful Pratt & Whitney R-985 radial engine that gave it excellent short take-off and landing (STOL) capabilities. The Broussard could carry up to six passengers or cargo in its spacious cabin, which had large windows for observation purposes. The Broussard was also equipped with a radio compass and a VHF radio for navigation and communication.
Broussard je prvič poletel 17. novembra 1952 in začel služiti s francosko vojsko leta 1956 kot topniško opazovalno, povezovalno in opazovalno letalo. V alžirski vojni je videl obsežno ukrepanje, kjer je dokazal svojo zanesljivost in vzdržljivost v težkih pogojih. Broussard so uporabljale tudi francoske letalske sile in mornarica za podobne misije, pa tudi druge države, kot so Kambodža, Madagaskar, Maroko in Vietnam. Nekateri Broussardi so bili spremenjeni z orožjem, kot so mitraljezi ali rakete za protiuporniške operacije. Broussard je ostal v uporabi do leta 1993, ko so ga nadomestili sodobnejši helikopterji.
Broussard je imel tudi uspešno civilno kariero, saj so ga zasebni lastniki, klubi, podjetja in organizacije uporabljali za različne namene, kot so fotografiranje iz zraka, geodetske meritve, padalstvo, vleka jadralnih letal ali letenje grmičevja. Nekateri Broussardi so bili spremenjeni v amfibijska letala s plovci ali smučmi za vodne ali snežne operacije. Broussard še danes letijo navdušenci, ki cenijo njegovo klasično obliko in zmogljivost.
