Photos Chinese Aircraft
Hello,
Currently on ebay are two photos of early Chinese Aircraft. The Caudron photo has been seen previously,therefore perhaps the other aircraft has been too.But what is it? https://www.ebay.com/itm/35587088518...Bk9SR5jY886WZA Regards, Clint |

Re: Photos Chinese Aircraft
A very good question Clint
The Caudron is one of the batch delivered in 1913 and Lt Pan was one of the individuals who learned to fly in France in 1913. The photos are dated Aug 1917 so the type must have been imported before that date. The lower photo has a Farman touch over it, and since I really can't believe France "showelling" China with aircraft once the war began, it should thus be something delivered before the outbreak of war in Europe. The problem is that I can't find any. It has been a long time Lennart Andersson visited this site, so I'll ask him what he thinks Cheers Stig |

Re: Photos Chinese Aircraft
Hi Clint
Lennart points out the lower photo is in his book on Chinese Aviation on page 224. This one is better quality! It was built by the first aircraft factory in China, the workshop of the flying school at Nanyûan. It was organized by a French mechanic named Emile Obre. Four two-seater pusher biplanes were built apparently named Type Pan Shihchun. Cheers Stig |
