  Caudron G-4
The first factory-produced Caudron was the type A4, a 35-horsepower Anzani-powered tractor biplane in which the pilot sat completely exposed behind the rear spar of the lower wing.
The Caudron's relative slow speed and inability to defend itself from the rear made it increasingly vulnerable to fighter attack as German air defense improved.
The Caudron was acquired, along with a Voisin Type 8 (also in the NASM collection) and a Farman aircraft, for technical evaluation by the United States.

Caudron, who is undisputedly the supreme straight, balkline, and one-cushion carom player of all time, was on a mission to prove that he stands above the greatest giants in three-cushion billiards – by winning this Sang Lee title.
Caudron immediately responded by surging ahead and was the first to hear the referee's call, "Playing for three" – leaving his opponent trailing desperately behind 37-28.
Then, Caudron unleashed a breathtaking out-shot and immediately upon delivering the winning blow, shook his cue tightly with two clenched fists and let out a deep victory roar that was heard all around the three-cushion world.

Assembled in Rue City, the G.3, made her debuts on the Crotoy City airfield, where the Caudron brothers possessed an active piloting school, she was a "sesquiplan", the lateral control being assured by the warping of the wing.
Ordered in large series, this airplane was built by Caudron in the new factory in Lyon City and to Issy-les-Moulineaux City during the first months of the conflict.
In parallel, she was produced by other companies, while the Caudron brothers won't ask for the slightest rights regarding their patent, showing by this way their highest patriotic mind.

The subject of this review is the Caudron C.450/C.460, a French sleek, incredibly small, and yet beautiful aircraft that dominated the airplane races during the mid 1930s.
Four airframes were produced under the serial numbers 6907-6910, and these aircrafts sported different engine, mechanical and markings configurations during the 1934-36 triennial, making the approach for a specific aircraft a non trivial task.

 Caudron C.714 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One common feature to all of the Caudron line was an extremely long nose that set the cockpit far back on the aircraft.
The profile was the result of using the 450 hp (336 kW) Renault 12R-01 12-cylinder inline engine, which had a small cross section and was fairly easy to streamline, but very long.
On May 18 35 of Caudrons were offloaded to the Polish Warsaw Squadron - the Groupe de Chasse polonaise I/145, stationed at the Mions airfield.

Caudron's work is somewhat plot- (or character-) driven: our experience of the current fanatics she is dealing with reflects her own stage in this journey of self-discovery.
With the gamers, Caudron was trying to express a feeling of removal, but in the process she removed the reader from the experience a little too much.
Caudron stayed so close to her self-discovery theme that I think she may have kept the book from developing in the other directions it could have taken.

 Les Avions Caudron
A detailed history of the early years of the Caudron brothers and their aircraft is particularly fascinating for its multitude of fl and white photos, most of which were quite new to me. The first chapters cover the individual models of the A to O series.
A separate chapter deals with the G models (G.II G.III and G.IV) built in quantity during the 1914-18 War, and another covers the later 3-seater 'fuselage' machines of the R series used until the end of that war.
The little Caudron G.III was a particularly widely used machine, at first on general reconnaissance duties and artillery spotting, but later relegated to training because of its reliability and ease of piloting.
