Wow, that Caudron R 14 had two HISPANO engines with 300 hp each! Do you know it's top speed?

The Hanriots were also used by the Swiss after the war. I have a picture somewhere of one in a Swiss museum in their colours. Or maybe the museum is in Munich.....

You need glasses - there are two. The Iron Cross and the Golden Military Merit Cross have the same black and white ribbons. Actually the same B&W ribbon was also used for wartime awards of the Hohenzollern Order and the Red Eagle Order. I say - Hanriot HD.1. Either Italian or Belgian will do. So...two identical black and white ribbons side by side in a black and white photograph. Well I don't feel too stupid then.

OOooHHhhh, AAaaww, I think this be what my cat feels when i pay attention to her. ......Purrrrr Thanks! Great Pics ? Any total failures in design? I recall some contraption that had dual triplane. PS, I love the pics of the central engine running the dual engines on the wings via the shaft. Reminds much of a modern day front wheel drive car. CV joints go on them.....

Gee, what a big show! Great to see the personnel photos in this high quality!
Do you have any Roland D. VI with personal emblems, Jim?

Very nice pictures, thanks for sharing. I especially like the Salmson-Moineau engine, beautiful in its weirdness. I'd like to try and stuff one [Hispano 300ch] of those engines in a SPAD XIII If I remember well it will make (along with other modifications) a SPAD XVII, only a few reach the front at the very end of the war, but it seems that Fonck scored his last victories with it.
