One of the many types of Farman Shorthorn
pusher biplanes, in which the observer sat in the front and the pilot in
the back. This type of aircraft was used, in combat, early in World War
I, by the United Kingdom, France, and Belgium, before it was used as a
trainer, and one of them was used to shoot down a zeppelin. It was also
used as a bomber.
