The French fighter Morane-Saulnier MS 406.C1 was the primary fighter aircraft of the Armée de l'Air during World War II, especially in the early phase of the conflict – the Battle of France in 1940. Apart from the French army, it was also used by the Finnish, Swiss, and Turkish air forces, among others.
