[edit] Design and development
After the end of World War I the slump in demand for aircraft forced Dewoitine to close his company and move to Switzerland in 1927.
He produced the D.27 the following year, 66 of which were produced for the Swiss Air Force from 1931. It was also licence-built in Romania and Yugoslavia.
[edit] Operational history
Seven strengthened versions, designated the D.53, served experimentally with the French Escadrille 7C1, flying from the carrier Béarn.
