Re: Photo Farman

Indeed Clint

Gregory does not mention any other engines as far as I can see.
As I said he is not specific as to which aircraft manufacturer who used which engines.
The above is my interpretation only, no more - no less.

What is written in his book cannot of course, on two pages, cover the whole story regarding Italian military procurement of its MF 14s

I fully agree there needs to be much more written regarding the early Farman types, which also goes for the other brother Henri.
But it is a complicated story and much of what has been written to date is wrong or at least very confusing where each author choose not to face the problems.
Things are not made any easier when countries, like Italy, choose to call the aircraft by a different designation, not used in France. Same thing in Russia.

Cheers
Stig
