Gloster Gladiator I or II
(everybody used it, and was used in some 34 different squadrons. Good for those REALY early war scenarios, lol)
Armée de l'Air!!! Potex 630More than 700 Potez 63.11 were delivered by June 1940.
All members of the family (possibly except the Potez 637) shared pleasant flying characteristics. They were well designed for easy maintenance and later models had a heavy armament for the time (up to 12 light machine guns for the Potez 63.11). They were also quite attractive aircraft. Although not heavily built they proved capable of absorbing considerable battle damage.
(a multi-role twin engine aircraft. think 110, but French, and waaay suckier firepower)

Morane-Saulnier M.S.406Numerically it was France's most important fighter during the opening stages of World War II.The top Morane ace was W/O Urho Lehtovaara with 15 kills on Morane, of total 42.
.......To be honest this one kinda sucked....
The design held its own in the early stages of the war (the so-called Phony War), when the war restarted in earnest in 1940,
400 were lost in combat and on ground for only 175 kills in return (as well as more destroyed on the ground). The Finns scored further 121 kills with Morane-Saulnier 406 (code letters MS).

Bloch MB 152 C1MB.151s and MB.152s equipped six fighter Groupes during the Battle of France, but proved completely outclassed by the Messerschmitt Bf 109E. They continued to fly in the Vichy air force until this was disbanded. Some of these aircraft were then supplied to Romania.
Nine MB.151s were exported to Greece.
