The Breda Ba.64 debuted during the Spanish Civil War, with the version provided with Gnôme-Rhône K-14 engine. It proved effective, and was compared positively with the German Junkers Ju 87. During the Second World War it was used against the British in North Africa. Most were either out of service or shot down by February 1941. The aircraft, which had been forcibly kept in service after the failure of the Breda Ba.88 and the poor performances showed by the Caproni Ca.310, was replaced by adapted S.79s or fighters in the assaulter-diver bomber role.
