The Morane-Saulnier Type V, also known as the Morane-Saulnier MS.5, was a French fighter aircraft that served during World War I. It was designed by the Morane-Saulnier company and first flew in 1917.

The Morane-Saulnier Type V was a single-seat, single-engine biplane with a wooden structure and fabric covering. It was powered by a 110-horsepower Le Rhône 9J rotary engine and had a top speed of around 120 miles per hour (190 kilometers per hour) and a ceiling of 19,000 feet (5,800 meters). The aircraft was armed with two synchronized Vickers machine guns mounted on the fuselage.

The Type V was one of the most successful French fighter aircraft of World War I, with a total of 1,100 being produced. It was known for its speed, maneuverability, and ease of control and was flown by many of France’s top aces. The aircraft’s design was also influential, with many other aircraft manufacturers copying its basic layout and design features.

The Morane-Saulnier Type V remained in service with the French Air Force and other air forces for several years after the end of World War I, and was used in a variety of roles, including training, reconnaissance, and ground-attack.
