I know it was because of the open cockpits but man I do love the style they had back then.

I like that classic aviator look, too.

This is a Caudron G.4. This particular example is powered by two Anzani 10 radial engines (distinguished by their dual exhaust collector rings). See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caudron_G.4

Thank you!

This is one of the 12 Caudron G.4 (also given as G.IV roman numeral) biplanes (partly) produced by the British Caudron Company at Cricklewood. These were fitted with the Anzani radials and delivered to the RNAS. The RNAS order for the machines was dated 1 October 1915, while machines had serials 3289 - 3300. Most of them were deleted in 1916, not an unusual service time for aeroplanes at that time. This picture shows that it was used in some publication. In some way only the lighter part was shown in that publication, sort of Photoshopping avant la lettre.

Thanks for posting this. ... I am addicted to WWI aeroplanes and build models of them for the museum here in Denver. ... I like this plane because of the twin LeRhone rotary engines. .
