Wow, a "two-seater dream-come-true" - the Caudron G.IV ! I had always hoped it would make it's way into WOFF one day - now it seems to be close! Great choice, OBD - a craft with a very distinct and different look!

Without question, one of the ugliest airplanes to ever leave the ground. ' And yet I bet it looks beautiful to everyone who's been asking for more French two seaters. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

You want some sick designs, take a look at what the Austrians were doing back then. ...Or the Royal Aircraft Factory

The Se5 is a thing of beauty and functionality sir! Aaaaaaand we'll just stop there thank you very much.
SE5 is an awesome fighter, which is an incredible thing for a flying windmill. Joke apart, It's only recently that I have learned to appreciate the "anti-harmony" lines of RE8 and BE2.

I'm with Joe on this one. While the craftsmen at Kingston-on-Thames were the spiritual descendants of Grinling Gibbons and George Hepplewhite, it's also true that ex coal miners needed employment too, and it was nice that the Royal Aircraft Factory was able to put their skills to good use... Cheers shredward
We will remember them.

Sure looks fun having that gunner just about shoot you in the freaking face all the time!

For those who wants to know a bit more about Caudron G IV in the Aéronautique Militaire, I have made, using Albin Denis excellent website, a (non-exhaustive) list of Escadrille that used the G.IV, with their main role, the period during which they used Caudrons, and their localisation at that time. https://www.dropbox.com/s/9mhdtftbd15hu4w/CaudronGIV-1915-1917.pdf?dl=0

I'm sorry- been out of the loop. What is WOFF UE? I couldn't find any info via search. Ultimate Edition? My next expenditure of money on myself? Reason for getting TrackIR? Ultimate Excitement? Something coming in 2 weeks?
