Welcome to Warbird Wednesday! Today, we’re visiting a French fighter aircraft that flew for the Allies during WWII, the Dewoitine D.520. In a re-arming effort across the globe, the D.520 was built around a 20mm cannon. The aircraft had superior maneuverability against the German ME 109. The D.520 saw combat in North Africa, Bulgaria, and the Eastern front and flew as a trainer until 1953.
