| * Intro indicates first year the first version was introduced.
Built indicates total number built for the French Army and/or Navy, including those built after the armistice. Note: Many aircraft were delivered without propellers, engines, or other vital equipment. For example, over 150 Arsenal VG 33 had been built by June 1940, but only a dozen were airworthy. This can be said to apply to many aircraft, including those imported from the USA, many of which were sitting on the docks in their containers. |
