Seating

edit

The early sources are a bit confused: ref 1 has three seat in the text and two seat in the caption. The sale article (not in an aircraft mag) says single seat! My feeling was that the text of 1 was the most reliable (captions may have been written by someone else) and is reinforced by a rough measurement of the canopy length from the photos; this gives 3.2 m, plenty of room for three.TSRL (talk) 19:56, 21 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Early engine

edit

The source just says Salmson radial and I was inclined to leave it there but the photos seem to show a five cylinder unit and the Salmson 5A produced about the right power. There is a redirect from Salmson 5Ac to Salmson air-cooled aero-engines but it is not helpful, since the latter merely lists the Salmson5 as an engine they made, without any info.TSRL (talk) 19:56, 21 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
