J.Davilla, A.Soltan French Aircraft of the First World War (Flying Machines)

Bleriot 43

  The Bleriot 43 was a derivative of the Type 36. The main differences were that the Type 43 had a monocoque fuselage and an 80-hp Gnome 7A engine. The crew was seated in tandem with the observer located behind the wing; a large porthole provided him with an excellent view of the ground. A speaking tube facilitated communication between pilot and observer. The fuselage was constructed of wood and cloth; it does not appear that it was armored. The Bleriot 43 was probably intended to meet the same long-range reconnaissance specification as the Type 36, but without the excessive weight of the armor. However, its performance was not significantly changed.
