Farman

   Flying Fish: In the meantime Voisin was building another machine initially designated HFII, although the Voisins took out a patent on it; it was never finished. It had 3 widely staggered rectangular wings with considerable dihedral, and 2 more in the rear. The long fuselage was rectangular in section and arched like an airfoil section. The nose was pointed: the engine would have been set back inside the fuselage. The purpose was to increase speed with more wings and less resistance from brace wires. Later in its unsuccessful life it was rebuilt with 2 sets of wings and a new tail. It may have been sold to a German Lieutenant Fritsche.

Voisin

   The Flying Fish: In February 1908 Henry Farman ordered a monoplane originally designated Henry Farman No 2; it is described under Farman, but was patented by Voisin.
