Hesham,

please don't get me wrong - but: Your questions seem to be a little too ambitious and, specific to be answered here in this forum, I am afraid. I suppose, you may rather find answers through asking some dedicated aviation-historians than, through us.

Maybe you should write all your questions down in one mail and send it simultaneously to several well-reputed aircraft- and aviation-museums worldwide. I am shure, this way you will receive satisfactory answers - one way, or the other.

Believe me: If we could help you, we would. But this degree of specialisation the answering of your questions requires, is something we simply cannot supply, I am afraid.

Cheers, anyway,

Hi Hesham,

I am an aviation nut, but my interest starts about 1935 or 1936 with military monoplanes. The later biplnes like the Fiat C-42 and the late-model Curtiss Hawks are interesting, but I confess ... not many others.

Once you get to to 1936 or so, at LEAST to mono0planes, I can get interested.

So, my interest in Dewoitines starts with the D.342 in multi-enginem ad the D.500 / 510 in fighters. I can give specs on them and some interesting data, but I don't really even find mcuh on the D.420 at all.

If you say it was built, I'll believe you. But I can't find any data on it at this time.

So ... is teh D.420 a paper exercise or did it actually fly?

Curious, - Greg
