Introduction 1931
Primary user Armée de l'Air

The Nieuport-Delage NiD 62 was a French biplane fighter from the early 1930s. This machine is a descendant of a long line of Nieuport-Delage biplane fighter aircraft that were designed and built during the years immediately after World War I. The Ni-D.62 was built in 1931 as a fighter for the Armée de l'Air. It served until the late 1930s, when it was replaced by more modern monoplane fighters. By the time of the outbreak of World War II in September 1939, all of the NiD 62s had been withdrawn from fighter escadrilles but were used as trainers in French flight schools. A few aircraft were employed as target tugs. After the French capitulation and German occupation of France in June 1940, the German Luftwaffe had no interest in the NiD 62s and they were scrapped. None survived the war.
