1.Claimed to have been shot down by Oblt. Kraft Eberhardt during Spanish Civil War.
2.This Potez shot down is unconfirmed for Obltnt.Reberhardt. German pilots found frustrating their first encounters with the French "Multiplace de Combat". Their attacks from the rear, resulted in difficult light damage to the bomber, probably well armoured. The bombers technically shot down but not absolutely destroyed. The fate of the crew is unknown
