Re: What are these aircraft?

Hi
Having studied the foto again I am certain that this is a Caudron C.445.
The unique wing shape of the design gives the clue, being quite broad up to the engines and then tapers sharpley back in a swept-back shape. I have already mentioned the other design features being - blunt nose and narrow engine nacelles. At this time of mid 1942 the type was widely used over all fronts.

Regards

Tom Willis
