  • As the French began to mass with the English at the Belgium border in preparation for an attack against Germany's western flank in mid 1942, the D.520 was filling out the ranks as the French Air Force's prime fighter, giving the 109 a tougher challenge in the skies.
  • First designed in 1936, It had a wingspan of 10.2 meters and was armed with a 20 mm Hispano-Suiza HS.404 cannon and 4 7.5 mm machine guns. The D.520 entered service in 1940, fighting the Battle of France. After the country's defeat, it continued to be produced, and was used by both Vichy and Free French forces, as well as Germany, Italy, Bulgaria and Romania.
  • The Dewoitine D.520 was French fighter aircraft that entered service in early 1940, shortly after the beginning of World War II. Unlike the Morane-Saulnier M.S.406, which was at that time the most numerous fighter in the French Air Force, the Dewoitine D.520 came close to being a match for the latest German types, such as the Messerschmitt Bf 109. It was slower than the Bf 109E but superior in manoeuvrability. Because of a delayed production cycle, only a small number were available for combat with the Luftwaffe.
