Developed in the mid-1940s, the MH.52 was a low-wing cantilever monoplane with twin fins and rudders and a fixed tricycle landing gear.

The aircraft was powered by a variety of inline engines developing between 95 and 150 hp (71 to 112 kW).

[1] A development of the MH.52 was the sole MH.53 Cadet which had a fixed tailwheel landing gear and a lower powered 135 hp (101 kW) de Havilland Gipsy Major 10 engine.

Most were flown by aero clubs and private pilots in France, but three examples were delivered to Egypt.
