Historical Information
The Morane-Saulnier MS.406 was the most numerous French fighter in service when WWII began. Although maneuverable and well regarded by many pilots, it was underpowered compared with newer opponents and faced the faster Messerschmitt Bf 109E during the Battle of France.
 
Key details regarding the usage of the Morane-Saulnier MS-406 include:
Combat Service: Fought extensively from the opening of the war through the Battle of France and later served with several foreign air forces.
Operational Roles: Day fighter, interceptor, and air-defense fighter.
Service Use: Used in large numbers by the Armée de l'Air and later by countries including Finland, Switzerland, Turkey, Croatia, and others.
Notable Operations: MS.406 units carried a major share of French fighter operations in 1939-40 and claimed a substantial number of victories despite heavy losses during the German offensive.
Retirement: French front-line use largely ended after 1940-42, while upgraded and foreign-operated examples remained in service into the later war years.
