The success of the lightweight multi-purpose aircraft Potez 36 led to the creation of an improved version , the Potez 43 , a prototype  the Potez 430 made its first flight in June 1932. It retained a high strut wing, but the span of the slats was reduced to the span of ailerons and an improved fuselage appeared with a cabin that could accommodate three people. There was the possibility of installing wheel fairings, and the tail unit was redesigned. In 1933, the first serial modification of the aircraft appeared - Potez 431. 60 aircraft were built. Experienced and serial versions of the Potez 431 had a Potez 6As engine with 105 hp.
Soon after the first serial modification, others followed.

Potez 435 - 11 planes with Renault 4Pdi engines producing 120 hp
Potez 438 is a serial version with the same engine and tail wheel. 33 aircraft delivered to the French Air Force for communications, observation and training; The equipment included a radio station and a camera.
