Operational history
Only two aircraft types, both one-offs, are known to have used the 438 engine. One was F-AMVA, a Caudron C.430/1 Rafale, for racing and record attempts, particularly the Coupe Deutsch de la Meurthe races, the other Hanriot H.183 F-AOJG, an aerobatic version of the Hanriot H.180.
