Historical Description

The Bloch MB-155 is an improved version of the MB-152 fighter, developed in early 1940 in response to the need for better performance and reliability in French fighters. The MB-155 featured a more aerodynamic profile, a more efficient Gnôme-Rhône 14N-49 engine, and enhanced cockpit armor. Aircraft of this type were used by the French Air Force (Armée de l’Air) in the final months of the French campaign, as well as later by the Vichy government.

The Bloch MB-155 participated mainly in defensive battles in 1940, as the French military resisted the German invasion during World War II. Despite limited production (around 50 units), these aircraft supported crews fighting the Luftwaffe and were recognized for their improved maneuverability and armament.
