Blériot-SPAD S.510

L'histoire du Blériot S 510 de 1936 sur Wikipedia version anglaise :
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Blériot SPAD S.510 was the last French bi-plane fighter to be produced.
Development
Conceived in 1930, this clean, open-cockpit biplane first flew in 1933 and entered service in 1936.
Performance was similar to the British [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] and [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].
The S.510's armament generally consisted of 4 machine guns (installed as either a combination of 2 engine-mounted guns, plus 2 in under-wing gondolas or with all 4 in under-wing gondolas) this gave it a much heavier attack capability than many earlier biplane fighters and parity with the final biplane-types employed by the British and Italians - e.g. the Gladiator and [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].

The S.510 was doomed to obsolescence before it even flew.
Though at the time it was designed, many pilots and experts strongly believed that biplanes would prove better fighters than monoplanes because of their tighter turning circles.
Largely overshadowed by the faster [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] monoplane, an order of 60 planes was secured in August 1935 when French ace pilot Louis Massot demonstrated the S.510 to excellent effect showing its superior maneuverability and rate of climb.
Despite its strengths, the S.510 only enjoyed about a year of utility.
A decent fighter for 1936, it was quickly overshadowed by the new, modern monoplanes developed by Germany, England, and France.
It had fixed landing gear as well as a weak fuel system and undercarriage.

Operational history
The S.510 entered service in early 1936, being assigned to the GC I/7 in May 1937 and the GC II/7 in July, 1938.
They were intended as transition aircraft between the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] and the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] and served in the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], a military acrobatic group.
Upon the outbreak of [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], the S.510 served in reserve squadrons only.
The metropolitan reserves were mobilized into the II/561 based in Havre-Oteville.
From January 18, 1940 over a period of weeks, the S.510s were replaced with [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] aircraft, the groupe changing designation to GC III/10.
The displaced S.510s returned to their training role. Approximately ten S.510s had been sent to French North Africa where, by the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], they were mobilized into a fighter group, the GC III/5, but their age allowed them to be used for training flights only.
