Caudron G.IV
Page 2 of 6
In service with LVA.
In 1915 five examples of this two seat bomber were ordered, but because of the war there were many problems to transport the aircraft to the Netherlands. Because of these problems the aircraft arrived on June 24, 1918.
As they had been stored for
a long period of time, a complete overhaul was necessary.
The Caudron G.IV was completely outdated in 1918 and were mainly just for reconnaissance duties.
In 1925 the Caudron G.IV was withdrawn from use.
Wreckage of Caudron G.IV, serial C427, which crashed after colliding with Farman HF19, both crew members were killed.
