Overview

The Potez 25 was a French twin-seat, single-engine sesquiplane designed during the 1920s. A light multi-purpose fighter-bomber, it was designed as a line aircraft and used as a fighter and escort fighter, tactical bombing and reconnaissance missions. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, the Potez 25 was the standard multi-purpose aircraft of over 20 air forces, including French and Polish. It was also popular among private operators, notably mail transport companies. The aircraft was further developed into the 25M, a standard parasol-wing monoplane, which never entered production.
