Only three prototypes of the Caudron C.440 Goéland were produced, which first flew in 1934. The first series-produced aircraft were designated Caudron C.441, and only four were built.
Belgian Air Force also used the Goéland, specifically the C.444 model fitted for training missions.
The C.445M model was selected by the Armee de l’Air and was used in light transport, liaison, crew training and even as a bombing training aircraft.
German Luftwaffe used several Goéland in liaison and light transport missions after capturing a few units in 1940, after the french surrender.
