Farman H.F.20

The Henri Farman H.F.20 was used for reconnaissance and army cooperation duties from the start of the war. In France, six escadrilles were equipped with the HF.20 and they flew until early to late 1915 when they were replaced variously with the more robust M.F.7, M.F.11, and Caudron G.3. The HF.20 also formed four Belgian escadrilles. It was most widely used in Russia, where the HF.20 served both for reconnaissance well into 1916 (and long afterward for training). Japan built eight-four between 1916 and 1920. When the war started, four of the 23 French escadrilles were H.F.20 units.

About three hundred were built in Russia. Dux produced many Farman XXs. The V.V. Slyusarenko Aviation Company of Petrograd produced fifteen Farman HF.20bis.
