<hi style=afpcap>[NOTE THE CAPTION STATES THIS TO BE A Le Pere LUSAC 11 - BUT PAGE 663 OF THE PUTNAM BOOK SHOWS THIS NOT TO BE THE CASE. THE AIRCRAFT IN QUESTION IS QUITE POSSIBLY A FARMAN F40] The 30 examples of the Farman F-40 were used by the American Expeditionary Force (A.E.F.) as trainers flown under their original designations of F-40A-2 and F40P-2, the latter for photographic duties. The model 40 was a revised version of the Farman Boxkite pusher from the pre World War One era. The nacelle of the F-40 was laminated wood veneer instead of the earlier framework boxes which almost completely enclosed the two Renault V-12 engines. There were no A.E.F. Farmans operational in the U.S. after the World War One.</hi>
