The Lioré 210 was designed to meet a 1933 French Navy requirement for a single-seat catapult-launched fighter seaplane. The prototype first flew at Saint Nazaire on 21 March 1935. It had a large central float and two underwing auxiliary floats and was powered by a single nose-mounted Hispano-Suiza 9Vbs radial engine (Licensed copy of R-1820 Cyclone 9). The prototype was evaluated by the French Navy, achieving a production order for 20 aircraft in March 1937. The aircraft entered service with the Aéronavale in August 1939, within three months five aircraft had been lost due to structural failure of the wing. All the remaining aircraft were grounded and withdrawn from use.

As can be seen in the photograph, this aircraft,
while sporting the classic appearance
of a biplane, was constructed entirely of metal
