Caudron C.713

The C.710 were a series of light fighter aircraft developed by Caudron-Renault for the French Air Force just prior to the start of World War II. One version, the C.714, saw limited production, and were assigned to Polish pilots flying in France after the fall of Poland in 1939. A small number was also supplied to Finland.

With its first flight on 18 July 1936, the C.710 prototype showed good potential and was able to reach a level speed of 470 km/h (292 mph) during flight testing. More powerful engines resulted in the C.711 and C.712. The C.713 which flew on 15 December 1937 introduced retractable landing gear and a more conventional triangular vertical stabilizer.
