Farman F.40

from SDASM Archives

  • Aviatik IMG said:
    This is not an MF. 11 or 11bis... but rather an F.40 series which was more powerful and stronger and replaced the MF.11 and 11 bis types in service.

    This one is very difficult to classify. I have never seen a F.40 model with a typical MF.11 rear end before..... Stig

    There were several subvariants. The MF-11 was an 80 hp Renault-powered machine w/ simple slab-sided nacelle. The MF-11bis had a 130 hp Renault engine and an additional "visor" looking addition to the front nacelle w/ two circular windows on each side of the nose. The next design type revised the nacelle w/ a smoother, rounder monocoque streamlined nacelle. This photo reflects that. The Farman brothers each had their own "line" of aircraft being produced, the HF or Henri Farman Series and the Maurice Farman MF series. Later, they got rid of HF or MF and just went to F for Farman. So the designation of F.40 and various subvariants like F.41, F.41bis, F.42. Look in James Davilla's book on French Aircraft of WWI by Flying Machines Press for a lot more detail into the variants and their miniscule specs and details.

    So I did Aviatik The problem is that there is no photograph in Davilla/Soltan's book of any F.40 with the old tail shown here. They all have a single fin. If, as you say, this is a F.40 model/variety, I have never seen one as this before combining old and new features. So it is up to you if you are convinced since I stick to not being certain.... :-) Reason the Farman brothers had their own designation system was that they were two different companies. When they went together they decided to use just one letter. Stig

Caudron G.III

from SDASM Archives

  • Aviatik IMG said:
    This is not a Farman 40 AR... it is a Caudron G.III being used for training duties most probably with the Americans at the 1st AIC at Tours, France in late 1917 thru 1918. The Caudron was a pre-war design that was very successful at the Front for reconnaisance purposes and later in the training role. A twin engined G.IV was also produced that saw a lot of action with the French at the Front as well.
