One of 3 fighters developed to be lightweight fighters, the Caudron C.714 only saw limited service by Polish pilots who were deployed by France and a small number went to Finland, though hopelessly outdated by German fighters, Polish pilots still flew the Caudron and managed to score 15 victories between June 8- June 11, another squadron which was a training squadron did use this aircraft and detered a bombing raid with no losses, but no victories, but most were destroyed with the fall of France (trim for landing gear)
