Avions Marcel Dassault was formed in 1945 from the
old Bloch company. The Flamant was built in several variants for both
the Armee de L’Air and the Aeronautique Navale. The MD-311 (39 built)
was a bombing and navigation trainer; the MD-315 (137 built) was a light
utility transport. Some Flamants saw active service as ground attack
aircraft in Algeria and French Indochina. They were retired from
military service in 1983 and a small number are now flown in civil
markings in France.
