In OTL the only Marine National aircraft carrier to see service before 1940 was the Bearn which wasn't what you'd call cutting edge. Is it possible to get one or more purpose built carriers into commission before 1938. Looking at the commssion dates for the Illustrious' to get more than one the French would have to outbuild Britain to get two carriers but could they build they own Ark Royale in the same period?

Supplimentary questions are what would the French fly off the ship and what would Italy's response be?
