Here are some
drawings and pictures of Farman airframes. These airplanes were widely used in the first stages of
war by many allied countries against the central powers. Len
Smith identified this drawing as almost certainly the
Fiat/Savoia-Pomillio F5B. But he can't be 100% certain because no
dimensions are given and many Farmans are similar but\line
different sizes. The F5B was produced, under licence, in Italy
and was a\line copy of the Maurice Farman MF11, with the Renault
engine replaced by a Fiat\line A10 100 H.P.
- Farman
biplane basic layout, a silouhette drawing not as
detailed as others in this site but showing some
interesting structural details. Note the strange control
column!
- Farman
III or IV, used in the early years of the Argentinian air force. Note
the droop of the four ailerons.
