Bloch MB.200 in Czech Service
Czechoslovakia chose the MB.200 as part of a modernisation program for its air force of the mid-1930s, placing an initial order for 74 aircraft. After some delays, both Aero and Avia began license-production in 1937, with a total of about 124 built. Czechoslovakian MB.200s were basically similar to their French counterparts, with differences in defensive armament and other equipment.
After the German annexation of Czechoslovakia, the MB.200s were taken over by the Luftwaffe, with some passed on to Bulgaria.
