Farman H.F.27

The Farman H.F.20 had proved to be fragile and underpowered, so the Farman H.F.27 increased engine power, wingspan, and replaced the boom structure with all-metal fittings. Aviation Militaire declined to buy any, but fifty were built in Russia, the RFC equipped two squadrons, thirty-four were used by the RNAS. They had a long lifetime, a testament to their improved durability, and Zeppelin LZ-38 was destroyed in its shed by RNAS HF.27s. Greece purchased four for use in the Aegean.

Russia's fifty HF.27s were built by Dux in 1916, and they were used widely for reconnaissance.
