Depends what you call the most successfull. Kills or kill ratio or survability of pilots and number of missions successfull.

In several occasions French fighters were unable to escort their recon planes because they were too slow. Don't remind the type but it wasn't D520.

D520 was on paper the best plane but was late and too few on numbers to do any difference.

I will also have to dig for statistics (and don't know if it will be given by plane types. I have them by unit but some units changed during the campain) but I will also bet that the most successfull fighter was the Curtiss H-75A.
