Historical Information about the Dewoitine D.500

The Dewoitine D.500 was designed in the early 1930s as France’s answer to the demand for a modern fighter aircraft. It was one of the first all-metal fighters, equipped with the Hispano-Suiza 12Xbrs inline engine. The aircraft officially entered service in 1935 and was an important component of the Armée de l'Air during the interwar period and the early days of World War II. The Dewoitine D.500 was used by France, Spain (during the Civil War), China, and Venezuela.

These aircraft mainly took part in patrol and fighter missions during the first months of World War II, although they were quickly replaced by newer designs. The Dewoitine D.500 was the forerunner of more famous fighters, such as the D.520.
