The Dewoitine D.338 was a French all-metal cantilever low-wing monoplane airliner. Using the trimotor formula and general shape of the previous and sole Dewoitine D.332, the new type was fitted with a retractable landing gear and a fuselage was lengthened by 3.18 m (10 ft 5¼ in). So, intead the eight passenger seats of the 332, twenty-two passengers could take place on board the 338 for short-haul flights (metropolitan France). Aircraft used on Far East routes were fitted with twelves luxury seats and regularly reached Indochina and later Hong-Kong. Seven airplanes sized by the German were used by the Lufthansa during World War 2 and two others were on strengh of the Fuerza Aérea Argentina (Argentine Air Force) during the second half of the 1940s. In France, a handfull of surviving airframes were on service for several months between Paris and Nice once peace recovered.

Thirty airframes were built and a sole D.342 (oval fuselage and two extra passengers).  

This page lists all films that feature a variation of the Dewoitine D.338 (and so D.342 and prototype D.620 too including the previous D.332 if required).
