Historical Background and Usage

The Potez 631 was a twin-engine, multirole combat aircraft used by the French Air Force (Armée de l’Air) between 1938 and 1940, during the period just before and in the early months of World War II. This model was designed in response to the need for a modern escort and interceptor fighter, as well as a night fighter, making it a unique specimen in the history of French military aviation.

The Potez 631 was mainly used during the French campaign in 1940, serving in both day and night interception missions. Although its performance proved insufficient compared to its German adversaries, the aircraft played an important role in France’s air defense system before the capitulation.
