The Farman F.40 was a 1930s French three-seat cabin high-winged monoplane which was designed and built by Farman.The Farman series “400” was a revolution for its builder because it had a thin, cantilever-constructed, high wing, with round edges, which could be dismounted for better storage and transportation.The aeroplane had mixed construction. The fuselage was made of steel tubes, while the wings had a wood frame. The fuselage and the wings are both covered with plywood. Forty French Air Force escadrilles (squadrons) were equipped with F.40s. They operated for just over a year, but were replaced in early 1917. The F.40 was also operated by the No. 5 Wing of the Royal Naval Air Service, Belgian forces in France, and also by the Russians Italian aircraft maker Savoia-Marchetti built F.40s for use by the police force until 1922.
