Caudron

René and Gaston Caudron started producing planes in 1909, forming Caudron Frères in Issy-Les-Moulineaux, Paris. Their early G.3, and G.4 pushers were some of the first planes to be armed, and they performed well for their time. Later Caudron converted to more traditional two- and three-seat tractor biplanes.

Production aircraft from the Great War or shortly thereafter include:

• Caudron G.2
• Caudron G.3
• Caudron G.4
• Caudron G.5
• Caudron G.6
• Caudron R.4
• Caudron R.11
• Caudron C.23
