History

All three were introduced in 1934 and appeared side by side at that year's Paris Air Show, the model numbers distinguishing versions powered by Salmson, Renault and Regnier engines. They were otherwise almost identical.

Variants

The H.170 series included military observation, tourer, trainer and navy liaison versions, and the H.180 and H.190 series had similar roles. The H.182 was the major production version, a trainer for French reserve aviation units.

Where you'll see it

Of 392 built, 346 were H.182s, mostly for the Cercles Aeriens Regionaux reserve flying units, with 172 still operational at the fall of France in 1940. Ten were bought by the Second Spanish Republic and 50 ordered by France were diverted to Turkey.
