The series split into two powerplant families: the \u003cstrong\u003ePotez 630\u003c\/strong\u003e with Hispano-Suiza 14 AB radials, and the \u003cstrong\u003ePotez 631 and 63-11\u003c\/strong\u003e with the more reliable Gnome-Rhône 14 M ultra-compact radials. The 63-11 A3 reconnaissance variant added a heavily glazed stepped nose and carried up to 12 × 7.5 mm MAC 1934 machine guns. Praised by test pilots for docile, predictable handling, the series served as heavy fighter, night fighter, and tactical reconnaissance platform throughout the 1939–1940 campaign.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Living Collection brings together \u003cstrong\u003e5 primary-source French-language documents\u003c\/strong\u003e issued by the Ministère de l’Air — Armée de
