Shortly before World War II, the well-known French airline manufacturer Marcel Bloch developed a series of quite successful MB-150, MB-151 and MB-152 fighter planes, the last two of which were put into mass production. The head of the design team focused on improving the MB-152 aircraft and the changes resulted in the development of the MB-155 aircraft, the first prototype of which, No.01, was flown in Déols on December 3, 1939. Meanwhile, the MB-155-01 prototype - after several test flights - transported to Villacoublay, where further structural improvements were made. First of all, the brace was introduced again under the horizontal stabilizers, and the elevator and the propeller were changed to a 3-blade Bloch company. The modified prototype became the model for the MB-155C1 series aircraft, 403 of which were ordered at the same time. The first serial specimen (No. 701) was flown in Déols on April 3, 1940. A further two units were produced by mid-June and a further seven by June 25. Some MB-155 aircraft flew to the south of France, and two were completely destroyed during the German raid on the SNCASO factory on June 18, 1940. After it entered into force on June 25, 1940. the truce between France and Germany, German troops withdrew beyond the demarcation line and the SNCASO plant in Déols found itself in an unoccupied part of France. The German authorities allowed the construction of a further 19 MB-155 fighters (up to and including serial number 729). The produced planes went to the GC I / 8 fighter units at the Montpellier airport and the GC II / 8 in Marignane, where until 1942. were in active service of the Armée de l'Air de l'Armistice, supplementing the MB-152 fighters that were used by these groups. In 1942. the authorities in Vichy decided to standardize the used aviation equipment and the Dewoitine D-520 was chosen as the standard fighter. MB-155 machines were stored as a reserve. On November 27, 1942. German troops occupied southern France. Vichy aviation was disbanded and its planes - including the few MB-155 fighters - were taken over by the Luftwaffe. They have found application, among others in Luftwaffe aviation schools and in combat units for training tasks. Technical data: Maximum speed: 550 km / h, maximum ceiling 10000 m, maximum range: 1050 km, armament: fixed - 2 20mm Hispano-Suiza cannons, 4 7.5mm machine guns
