AIRCRAFT COLOURS AND MARKINGS OF THE FIRST
WORLD WAR ERA
France: Caudron G.6
In an attempt to provide protection to their long range bombing and reconnaisance
machines, the French Air Service came up with a series of twin-engined
aircraft that were supposed to be able to fight off enemy fighters with
strong machine gun armament. Towards that end, Caudron developed the three-seat
G.5, which evolved into the two-seater G.6. Unfortunately the idea of
long range 'battleplanes' was a better idea than reality and they never
really lived up to the ideals of their creators.
According to David Layton (who has done considerable study on the G.6,
and sent me the result of his research of it many years back), my depiction
of the Escadrille C.11 aircraft is actually a G.5
