This machine was a descendant of a long line of Nieuport-Delage fighters that were designed and built during the years immediately after World War I.

The NiD.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By the time of the outbreak of World War II in September 1939, all of the NiD.62s had been withdrawn from front-line fighter escadrilles but were used as trainers in French flight schools.
