Maurice Farman MF.11 Shorthorn 1914
France
The Shorthorn was designed by Maurice Farman, one of the 3 Farman brothers (who were all English, contrary to much popular belief), and could fly at 12,000' for about 3 hours and was introduced into service in 1914. Huge numbers were built for France (who had 37 Squadrons using them at one point), UK and Italy. The advent of the Fokker Eindekker made it obsolete for front line action. Until mid-1915 it was the main allied combat aircraft and it remained in use as a trainer until 1918. Shorthorns were made in huge quantities in most allied countries.

第一次世界大戦において、偵察機としてフランスを初めとして、イギリス、ベルギーの航空隊で使用された機体です。推進式エンジンを搭載し、ゴンドラ状の全部コックピットが視界も良く偵察機にはうってつけのデザインです。ニックネームの由来は、ＭＦ７型をイギリス軍が、ロングホルンと呼んだのでそれより機首部分が短い本機をショートホルンと呼んだようです。ちなみに武装はしておりません。
