It was designed in response to a requirement released by the Armée de l'Air (French Air Force) for a new twin-seat observation aircraft. This clean-sheet aircraft featured unusual fuselage that ended abruptly, aft of the two open cockpits, while the empennage was mounted on a boom behind the fuselage. It performed its maiden flight on 23 February 1929. In addition to its adoption by the Armée de l'Ai, it was also sold on the export market to both Venezuela and China.
