Historical Information and Usage

The Dewoitine D.501 was a French single-seat fighter aircraft, actively used by France. It was developed as an improved version of the earlier D.500 variant—its primary difference was the introduction of more powerful armament, i.e., a 20 mm cannon mounted along the propeller axis. The Dewoitine D.501 entered service in the mid-1930s, becoming the standard fighter of the French Air Force just before World War II.

The D.501 was used in 1935-1940, mainly by the French Air Force (Armée de l'Air), but some units were also delivered to China, Spain, and Lithuania. The aircraft participated especially in the early battles of World War II and in earlier conflicts such as the Spanish Civil War.
