The Morane-Saulnier MS.230 aircraft was the main elementary trainer for the French Armée de l'Air throughout the 1930s. In fact, almost all French pilots flying for the Armée de l'Air at the outbreak of World War II had had their earliest flight training in this machine. It was the equivalent of the Stearman trainer in the United States air services and the de Havilland Tiger Moth in the British Royal Air Force. It first flew in February 1929 and proved to be an excellent and stable machine which was very easy to fly. It was placed into service in military flight schools throughout France and was exported abroad to the air forces of numerous other countries. It also became a popular aircraft for sport aviation.<br>
Several variants built in small numbers including Michel Détroyat's unique MS.234/2 (later upgraded into MS.234 N°2 -or MS.234 #2-) with which he repeatedly faced off against Ernst Udet and Gerhard Fieseler in memorable meetings in the mid-1930s.<br>
About 1100 aircraft built.
