French D. 520 Fighter WW2

The Dewoitine D.520 was a French single-engine fighter introduced during the crisis of 1940. Its modern low-wing design and cannon armament made it one of France’s most capable indigenous fighters, but availability and pilot conversion limited its impact before the armistice. Aircraft later served under Vichy, Axis, and liberated French control in differing circumstances. It was not a design that vanished entirely with the fall of metropolitan France. Its cannon fired through the propeller hub in the familiar single-seat configuration. That armament arrangement contributed to the design’s identity, but did not remove disadvantages in numbers and operational readiness. Dewoitine developed the fighter in France.
