Dewoitine D-510
French low-wing monoplane fighter with fixed landing gear developed from D.501, replacing the engine with the more powerful 860 hp Hispano-Suiza 12Ycrs in 1934. The D.510 was the first production fighter to reach an operating speed of 250 mph, representing a dramatic advance in fighter development in being a flush-riveted metal-skinned monoplane with a monocoque fuselage. The Dewoitine 501 of 1935 was the first fighter to mount a cannon that would fire through the propeller hub.
