Re: Photos Caudron Aircraft
No worries Clint
When identifying the "Early Caudron" as a B or C type I used a round-about method, ie I excluded
what it could not be.
To me the equal span of the two wing pairs, excludes later models and also some B and C that had
unequal ones. Not Gospel, I know.....
With regard to the Colombian G.III marked A-1, I am pretty certain it is the first "civil" registered
aircraft in the country. Before Lennart's book A-1 was identified as a Junkers F 13. Since Lennart
does not include A-1 as a F 13 anymore (he has nothing to say about the A-1 as such in the book)
I am thus even more certain that A-1 was the Caudron G.III in the photo.
My knowledge about early Colombian aviation is close to zero, so everything else is pure guesswork
from my side.
No idea how the EMA's Caudrons were marked, if A-1 was one of them or a direct import from
somewhere (France?)
