The Morane-Saulnier MoS (A.I), also known as the Morane-Saulnier A.1, was a French monoplane fighter aircraft used during World War I and shortly thereafter.

In Polish service, this aircraft holds historical significance as part of Poland's early air force efforts during the interwar period.

In Polish service, the Morane-Saulnier MoS (A.I) was employed during the early 1920s, a period marked by Poland's efforts to establish and consolidate its military capabilities following its independence in 1918.

The aircraft featured a distinct set of markings to reflect its Polish identity.

The Polish MoS (A.I) typically showcased the national insignia of Poland, which consisted of a red and white checkerboard pattern, prominently displayed on the wings and fuselage.

This checkerboard pattern, known as the "szachownica," became a well-recognized symbol of the Polish Air Force.

The aircraft were often painted in a standard military color scheme, which could include variations of olive drab or other camouflaging hues suited to the operational environment of the time.

These aircraft played a crucial role in the nascent Polish Air Force, contributing to the defense and sovereignty of the newly reestablished Polish state.

Despite being outclassed by more modern aircraft as aviation technology rapidly advanced, the Morane-Saulnier MoS (A.I) represents an important chapter in the history of Polish military aviation.
