The Caudron G.4 was a French biplane with twin engines, widely used during World War I as a bomber. It was designed by René and Gaston Caudron as an improvement over their single-engined Caudron G.3. The aircraft employed wing warping for banking. The first G.4 was built in 1915, and it was manufactured in France, England and Italy.
The Caudron G.4 had a pod and boom layout, with two Le Rhône rotary or Anzani radial engines mounted on struts between the wings. It had a crew of two, a pilot and an observer/gunner, who sat in a nacelle at the front of the aircraft. The observer/gunner could operate two Lewis machine guns, one mounted on a ring in the nose and one on a flexible mount on the upper wing. The aircraft could also carry up to 113 kg (250 lb) of bombs or six Le Prieur rockets.
The Caudron G.4 was one of the first twin-engine aircraft to enter service in large numbers, and it performed various roles, such as reconnaissance, bombing, artillery spotting, and training. It was also used for some record-breaking flights, such as reaching an altitude of 5,850 m (19,226 ft) with three passengers in May 1915, and an absolute altitude of 7,950 m (26,083 ft) in November 1916.
The Caudron G.4 was operated by several countries during and after the war, including France, Italy, Britain, Russia, Portugal, Finland, Japan, Brazil, and the United States. It was gradually replaced by more advanced aircraft as the war progressed, but some remained in service until the early 1920s.
