It was developed during the late 1920s and early 1930s to meet the needs of the Technical Aeronautic Service ( Service Technique de L'Aéronautique ) of the French government. First flown in 1931, the Bréguet 410 had a steel frame covered with duralumin; its armament was two front and two rear 7.7 mm Lewis machine guns and it could carry a bombload up to 1300 kg.[1] Despite the competing Amiot 143 being selected, production of the type proceeded nonetheless. Although quantity production did commence, the type was not produced in large numbers.
The Armée de l'Air procured several aircraft for its own uses. At least one Breguet 413, one of its variants, was sold to the Spanish Republican Air Force and saw action during the Spanish Civil War.[2]
