History
Although the design was an improvement on the earlier Goliath, it did not increase in performance, and it was not ordered into production.
Variants
The F.150 was powered by two 380 hp Gnome et Rhone 9Aa radials, and one was built. The F.150bis was a smaller version with two 400 hp Lorraine 12Db V-12 engines, of which two were built. The F.150 Marin was a floatplane bomber for the Aeronavale.
Where you'll see it
The type was not ordered into production, so it saw no operational service.
