The Morane-Saulnier Type T was first designed in the winter of 1914-1915, first tested in late 1916, and first delivered in August 1917, where it was intended for long-range reconnaissance. Though 90 were built, they were scattered to various units and never formed a complete escadrille. Instead, they were used alongside planes such as the Caudron G.6, Caudron R.4, and Letords. Various small failures and limitations were discovered as the planes saw use, and they did not see much action beyond the end of 1917. For more information, see Wikipedia:Morane-Saulnier T.
