Escadrille Voisin
|

|

1915-1916
|
|||
It's hard to believe, but these enormous triplanes... ...were constructed a mere eight years after the first closed-circuit kilometre machine! |
|||
|
|||
1919 Designed by Gabriel Voisin in conjunction with engineer Alexander Nemirovsky and Dr Tilmant, the prototype air ambulance called L' Aérochir... ...was based on the Voisin X bomber airframe, modified with pods to accommodate the injured on stretchers and a complete field hospital. |
