<p>The <b>Morane-Saulnier M.S.406</b> is a <a href="/wiki/France" title="France">French</a> <a href="/wiki/Fighter_aircraft" title="Fighter aircraft">fighter aircraft</a> developed and manufactured by <a href="/wiki/Morane-Saulnier" title="Morane-Saulnier">Morane-Saulnier</a> starting in 1938. It was France's most numerous fighter during the <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">Second World War</a> and one of only two French designs to exceed 1,000 in number. At the beginning of the war, it was one of only two French-built aircraft capable of 400&#160;km/h (250&#160;mph) – the other being the <a href="/wiki/Potez_630" title="Potez 630">Potez 630</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Botquin,_p._6._1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Botquin,_p._6.-1">&#91;1&#93;</a></sup>
</p><p>In response to a requirement for a fighter issued by the French Air Force in 1934, Morane-Saulnier built a prototype, designated <b>MS.405</b>, of mixed materials. This had the distinction of being the company's first low-wing monoplane, as well as the first to feature an enclosed cockpit, and the first design with a retracting <a href="/wiki/Landing_gear" title="Landing gear">undercarriage</a>. The entry to service of the M.S.406 to the French Air Force in early 1939 represented the first modern fighter aircraft to be adopted by the service.<sup id="cite_ref-Bot_p3_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bot_p3-2">&#91;2&#93;</a></sup> Although a sturdy and highly manoeuvrable fighter aircraft,<sup id="cite_ref-The_Hamlyn_Guide_to_Military_Aircraft_Markings_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-The_Hamlyn_Guide_to_Military_Aircraft_Markings-3">&#91;3&#93;</a></sup> it was considered underpowered and weakly armed when compared to its contemporaries. Most critically, the M.S.406 was outperformed by the <a href="/wiki/Messerschmitt_Bf_109" title="Messerschmitt Bf 109">Messerschmitt Bf 109</a>E during the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_France" title="Battle of France">Battle of France</a>.
</p><p>During the early stages of the Second World War, the type was capable of holding its own during the so-called <a href="/wiki/Phoney_War" title="Phoney War">Phoney War</a>. However, upon the invasion of France breaking out in earnest in May 1940, large numbers were lost, amounting to approximately 400 aircraft being lost, in total. Out of this total, around 150 were lost to enemy fighters and ground fire, while another 100 aircraft were destroyed on the ground during enemy air raids; the remainder were deliberately destroyed by French military personnel to prevent the fighters from falling into enemy hands intact. In return, French M.S.406 squadrons had achieved 191 confirmed victories, along with another 83 probable victories.<sup id="cite_ref-Botquin,_p._10._4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Botquin,_p._10.-4">&#91;4&#93;</a></sup> Limited production of the type continued in France for sometime after the <a href="/wiki/Armistice_of_22_June_1940" title="Armistice of 22 June 1940">1940 Armistice</a> under German supervision.
</p><p>In addition to its service with the French Air Force, the M.S.406 was also exported to a range of customers. Out of 160 airplanes ordered by Poland, none had reached Polish territory before the outbreak of war, with the first part of delivery sent on 29 August 1939.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5">&#91;5&#93;</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6">&#91;6&#93;</a></sup> Of particular note was its service in the hands of Finnish and Swiss air forces; both operators chose to develop their own indigenous models, such as the Finnish <i>Mörkö<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7">&#91;7&#93;</a></sup>-Morane</i>). By the end of the war, the majority of M.S.406s and its derivatives were out of service, having been rendered obsolete in comparison to rapid advances in fighter aircraft technology. Its final use was as an advanced trainer aircraft in Finland, prior to the last examples of the type being scrapped during 1952.

<p>During 1934, the <i><a href="/wiki/Service_Technique_de_l%27A%C3%A9ronautique" title="Service Technique de l&#39;Aéronautique">Service Technique de l'Aéronautique</a></i> (Aeronautical Technical Service) of the <a href="/wiki/French_Air_Force" class="mw-redirect" title="French Air Force">French Air Force</a> issued the "C1 design" requirement for a new and completely modern single-seat <a href="/wiki/Interceptor_aircraft" title="Interceptor aircraft">interceptor</a> fighter.<sup id="cite_ref-Bot_p3_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bot_p3-2">&#91;2&#93;</a></sup> Envisaged as a monoplane with a retractable <a href="/wiki/Landing_gear" title="Landing gear">undercarriage</a>, the prospective fighter aircraft was to serve as a replacement for the French Air Force's existing inventory of <a href="/wiki/Dewoitine_D.371" title="Dewoitine D.371">Dewoitine D.371</a>, <a href="/wiki/Dewoitine_D.500" title="Dewoitine D.500">Dewoitine D.500</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Loire_46" title="Loire 46">Loire 46</a> aircraft. Amongst the various aviation companies who took interest in the specification, to which the potential for a large production order was attached, was French aircraft manufacturer <a href="/wiki/Morane-Saulnier" title="Morane-Saulnier">Morane-Saulnier</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Bot_p3_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bot_p3-2">&#91;2&#93;</a></sup>
</p><p>The company's design team quickly projected that a low-wing monoplane design would be capable of delivering the desired level of performance sought; other features were to include a fully enclosed cockpit, a <a href="/wiki/Variable-pitch_propeller_(aeronautics)" title="Variable-pitch propeller (aeronautics)">variable-pitch propeller</a>, and landing <a href="/wiki/Flap_(aeronautics)" title="Flap (aeronautics)">flaps</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Bot_p3_2-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bot_p3-2">&#91;2&#93;</a></sup> It was decided to submit their own response to the requirement, designated as the <i>M.S.405</i>; work on the design was headed by the firm's Engineer-in-Chief, Paul-René Gauthier. Both the shape and basic configuration of the M.S.405 were hotly contended, particularly between 'traditional' advocates of <a href="/wiki/Biplane" title="Biplane">biplane</a> aircraft and 'modern' monoplane supporters.<sup id="cite_ref-Bot_p3_2-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bot_p3-2">&#91;2&#93;</a></sup>
</p><p>The MS.405 was a low-wing monoplane of mixed construction, with fabric-covered wooden tail, but a bonded metal/wood material (<i><a href="/wiki/Plymax" title="Plymax">Plymax</a></i>) skin fixed to <a href="/wiki/Duralumin" title="Duralumin">duralumin</a> tubing. Plymax consisted of a thin sheet of <a href="/wiki/Duralumin" title="Duralumin">duralumin</a> bonded to a thicker sheet of <a href="/wiki/Plywood" title="Plywood">plywood</a>. Morane-Saulnier had a long history of producing warplanes dating back to the pre-<a href="/wiki/World_War_I" title="World War I">First World War</a> years, but in the inter-war period, they had larger concentrated on civil designs. The aircraft was a departure for them, being their first low-wing monoplane, first with an enclosed cockpit, and first design with retracting landing gear. Prior to this, their most modern designs were fixed-gear <a href="/wiki/Parasol_wing" class="mw-redirect" title="Parasol wing">parasol</a> <a href="/wiki/Monoplane" title="Monoplane">monoplanes</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Bot_p3_2-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bot_p3-2">&#91;2&#93;</a></sup>

</p><p>As a consequence of various changes made between the prototypes and the pre-production aircraft, the <i>M.S.406</i> designation was adopted for the type. On 3 February 1938, the first pre-production aircraft made its first flight; during December 1938, the final pre-production M.S.406 was delivered.<sup id="cite_ref-Bot_p4_10-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bot_p4-10">&#91;10&#93;</a></sup> The pre-production aircraft served to build up experience of both manufacturing and testing of the type in advance of production M.S.406s.

</p><p>The two main changes of the M.S. 406 were the inclusion of a new wing structure which saved weight, and the fitting of a retractable <a href="/wiki/Radiator_(engine_cooling)" title="Radiator (engine cooling)">radiator</a>, located underneath the fuselage. Powered by the production 641.3&#160;kW (860&#160;hp) HS 12Y-31 engine, the new design was over 8&#160;km/h (5&#160;mph) faster than the earlier M.S.405 model. Designed to reach speeds of 489&#160;km/h (304&#160;mph), examples were tested without encountering any difficulty in reaching up to 730&#160;km/h (454&#160;mph) when flown in a dive.

A weakness of the MAC 1934 was its operation at high altitudes. It was found that at altitudes over 6,000&#160;m (20,000&#160;ft), the guns had a tendency to freeze. Heaters were subsequently added to the guns for high-altitude use.<sup id="cite_ref-Bot_p4_10-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bot_p4-10">&#91;10&#93;</a></sup>

<p>Beyond the base M.S.406 design, the development of improved variants and derivatives were emphasised even as mass production of the type was still being established.<sup id="cite_ref-Bot_p4_10-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bot_p4-10">&#91;10&#93;</a></sup> Perhaps the most significant of these was the <i>M.S.410</i>, which was developed on the basis of very early combat experience gathered during autumn 1939.

<p>During the late 1930s, there was a growing perception that a major conflict between Germany and France was not only looming but increasingly unavoidable. As part of preparatory measures, the French Air Force placed an order for 1,000 M.S406 airframes during March 1938.<sup id="cite_ref-Bot_p3_2-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bot_p3-2">&#91;2&#93;</a></sup> However, Morane-Saulnier was unable to produce anywhere near this number at their own factory, thus a second assembly line was established at the nationalized factories of <a href="/wiki/SNCAO" title="SNCAO">SNCAO</a> at <a href="/wiki/St._Nazaire" class="mw-redirect" title="St. Nazaire">St. Nazaire</a> in order to produce the type.<sup id="cite_ref-Botquin,_p._7._12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Botquin,_p._7.-12">&#91;12&#93;</a></sup> In April 1937, an initial order for 50 SNCAO-built M.S.406 fighters was placed; in August 1937, a follow-up order for 80 aircraft was issued. In April 1938, as a component of the French Air Force's <i>Plan V</i>, a large order for 825 M.S.406 was placed with the various nationalised French aircraft industries.<sup id="cite_ref-Botquin,_p._7._12-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Botquin,_p._7.-12">&#91;12&#93;</a></sup>
</p><p>During late 1938, production of the M.S.406 commenced; the first production example performed its maiden flight on 29 January 1939.<sup id="cite_ref-Botquin,_p._7._12-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Botquin,_p._7.-12">&#91;12&#93;</a></sup> Production was initially quite slow to ramp up; only 18 aircraft were produced at Puteaux, along with 10 fighters built by SNCAO. Deliveries were hampered more by the slow deliveries of engines to power the type than by the lack of airframes themselves; while efforts were made to correct this, according to Botquin, the engine supply issue was present throughout the entire manufacturing programme.<sup id="cite_ref-Botquin,_p._7._12-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Botquin,_p._7.-12">&#91;12&#93;</a></sup> By April 1939, the production lines were delivering six aircraft per day, and when war officially broke out on 3 September 1939, the rate production had risen to 11 aircraft per day; at this time, 535 M.S.406s had entered squadron service.<sup id="cite_ref-Bot_p3_2-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bot_p3-2">&#91;2&#93;</a></sup> According to aviation author Gaston Botquin, the rate of production of the type was comparable to the initial model of the British <a href="/wiki/Hawker_Hurricane" title="Hawker Hurricane">Hawker Hurricane</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Bot_p3_2-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bot_p3-2">&#91;2&#93;</a></sup>
</p><p>Production had reached a high-point of 147 M.S.406 aircraft during August 1939, before declining as manufacturing efforts were progressively re-directed towards other aircraft, such as the <a href="/wiki/Lior%C3%A9_et_Olivier_LeO_45" title="Lioré et Olivier LeO 45">Lioré et Olivier LeO 45</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Botquin,_p._7._12-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Botquin,_p._7.-12">&#91;12&#93;</a></sup> Manufacturing of the M.S.406 was wound down during March 1940, by which point the original order for 1,000 fighters had been delivered in full to the French Air Force, along with a further 77 aircraft which had been constructed for foreign users (30 fighters for Finland and 45 for <a href="/wiki/Turkey" title="Turkey">Turkey</a>).

By <a href="/wiki/Bastille_Day" title="Bastille Day">Bastille Day</a> of that year, sufficient production M.S.406 aircraft had been delivered to enable the type to perform the Paris fly-past on 14 July 1939.<sup id="cite_ref-Botquin,_p._7._12-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Botquin,_p._7.-12">&#91;12&#93;</a></sup> Overall, the M.S.406 equipped 16 <i>Groupes de Chasse</i> and three <i>Escadrilles</i>, stationed in both mainland France and across its overseas <a href="/wiki/Colony" title="Colony">colonies</a>; of these, 12 of the <i>Groupes</i> saw action against the <i><a href="/wiki/Luftwaffe" title="Luftwaffe">Luftwaffe</a></i>.<sup id="cite_ref-Botquin,_p._7_8._14-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Botquin,_p._7_8.-14">&#91;14&#93;</a></sup>

During the <a href="/wiki/Phoney_War" title="Phoney War">Phoney War</a> opening phase of the Second World War, a time of relatively low combat intensity, the type's activities focused upon air defence operations with the aim of countering the prolific <a href="/wiki/Aerial_reconnaissance" title="Aerial reconnaissance">aerial reconnaissance</a> and probing activities of small groups of <a href="/wiki/Axis_powers" title="Axis powers">Axis</a>-aligned fighters coming over the border, in addition to escorting friendly reconnaissance aircraft.<sup id="cite_ref-Botquin,_p._8._15-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Botquin,_p._8.-15">&#91;15&#93;</a></sup> Throughout the Phoney War, a total of 10,119 fighter missions were reportedly flown over the Army Zones on the border, around half of which being flown by M.S.406 fighters.<sup id="cite_ref-Botquin,_p._8._15-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Botquin,_p._8.-15">&#91;15&#93;</a></sup>

The story or GC III/7 was tragically typical. On 15 May, nine Moranes of this fighter unit encountered a dozen Bf 109s over Mézières. The Messerschmitt's stayed a few thousands feet above their French opponents and dived down in pairs to attack, with a single firing pass, before climbing back and then repeat the attack.

A fourth Morane, riddled with bullets, crash-landed at <a href="/wiki/Soissons" title="Soissons">Soissons</a> and was wrecked.

<p>While the M.S.406 was entering squadron service in 1939, an upgrade series was initiated with the aim of improving the design. The result was the <i>M.S.410</i>, which included the adoption of a stronger wing, simpler fixed radiator in place of the earlier retractable design, an arrangement of four belt-fed MAC guns in place of the earlier pair of drum-fed weapons, and the fitting of exhaust ejectors for additional thrust.<sup id="cite_ref-Bot_p5_27-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bot_p5-27">&#91;27&#93;</a></sup> The added thrust boosted the top speed to 509&#160;km/h (316&#160;mph; 275&#160;kn), resulting in an improvement of about 16&#160;km/h (10&#160;mph; 9&#160;kn) over the M.S.406.

<p>In 1938, <a href="/wiki/Switzerland" title="Switzerland">Switzerland</a> obtained a license for local production of the MS.406. Two MS.406H fighters were supplied to Switzerland in September 1938 and April 1939 to serve as pattern aircraft as the <i>D-3800</i>,<sup id="cite_ref-30" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-30">&#91;30&#93;</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Pelletier_2002,_p._16_31-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Pelletier_2002,_p._16-31">&#91;31&#93;</a></sup> retaining the earlier wing design of the 405, but powered by the newer <a href="/wiki/Hispano-Suiza_12Y-31" class="mw-redirect" title="Hispano-Suiza 12Y-31">Hispano-Suiza 12Y-31</a> engines as used by the MS.406.
</p><p>Pre-production started with a run of eight aircraft from <a href="/wiki/EKW" class="mw-redirect" title="EKW">EKW</a> with engines built by Adolph <a href="/wiki/Saurer" title="Saurer">Saurer</a> AG driving a new Escher-Wyss EW-V3 fully adjustable propeller. Instruments were replaced with Swiss versions and the drum-fed MAC machine guns with locally designed and built belt-fed guns, eliminating the wing-bulges of the French version, and avoiding the freezing problems encountered by French guns. The first of these aircraft was completed in November 1939. The pre-production models were then followed with an order for a further 74 examples, which were all delivered by 29 August 1940. In 1942, a further two were assembled with spares originally set aside for the original production run.<sup id="cite_ref-32" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-32">&#91;32&#93;</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Neut_p12-3_33-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Neut_p12-3-33">&#91;33&#93;</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-34" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-34">&#91;34&#93;</a></sup>
</p><p>During 1944, surviving aircraft were modified with new cooling and hydraulic installations, and were fitted with ejector exhausts. These modifications were the same standard as the D-3801 series, making them identical with the exception of the engine installation. At the end of the war the remaining aircraft were used as trainers, until the last one was scrapped in 1954.<sup id="cite_ref-Complete_p419_35-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Complete_p419-35">&#91;35&#93;</a></sup>

The Dornier-Altenrhein factory completed a prototype powered with a licensed-produced HS-51 12Y engine, generating 790.4&#160;kW (1,060&#160;hp) together with the fixed radiator and revised exhausts as tested on the MS.411, in October 1940.<sup id="cite_ref-Botquin,_p._10._4-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Botquin,_p._10.-4">&#91;4&#93;</a></sup> The new type retained the armament changes and other improvements introduced on the D.3800.<sup id="cite_ref-Complete_p419-0_36-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Complete_p419-0-36">&#91;36&#93;</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Neutral_p16_37-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Neutral_p16-37">&#91;37&#93;</a></sup> This series was put into production in 1941 as the <i>D-3801</i> with continued deliveries until 1945 with 207 completed.
