It was designed in response to a requirement issued by the French air ministry. Introduced to service during the 1930s, in excess of two hundred aircraft were procured for the French Air Force to equipment not just its frontline units but also to displace aircraft such as the Potez 25s from reserve units as well. Multiple variants were operated by the service, perhaps most noteworthy was the conversion of 40 aircraft to serve as dedicated night fighters. The family was in widespread usage at the start of the Second World War, and thus saw intense combat during the Battle of France. However, all remaining aircraft were all scrapped in the aftermath of the armistice with Germany.
