Dewoitine D.520 French Fighter Family
The Dewoitine D.520 was France's principal modern single-seat fighter to reach operational units during the 1940 campaign. Designed by Émile Dewoitine and developed through the nationalisation transition that created SNCAM, it combined contemporary performance with a production run too small to change the battle's outcome and later served in training and other post-war roles.
