Caudron C.870
Development and Features
The Caudron C.870 model was built based on earlier designs C.580, C.690, and C.720, retaining their key features: minimal dimensions and a low-power inline engine.
Production and Fate
Only two prototypes were completed before the armistice was signed. The first of them took flight in January 1940.
Both were subsequently captured by German forces at the airfield, and one was later put into service with the Luftwaffe.
