The Voisin IV was a French two-seat bomber and ground attack aircraft of World War I.
The Voisin IV was a biplane with a single engine in a pusher configuration, developed by Voisin in 1915 with staggered wings. It differed from earlier Voisin combat aircraft designs in having a mounted 37 mm (1.5 in) or 47 mm (1.9 in) cannon. [1]

The Voisin III was a French World War I two-seat pusher biplane multi-purpose aircraft developed by Voisin in 1914 as a more powerful version of the 1912 Voisin I. It is notable for being the aircraft used for the first successful shooting down of an enemy aircraft on October 5, 1914, and to have been used to equip the first dedicated bomber units, in September 1914.
The Bréguet Bre.4, also known variously as the Type IV and BUM, was a French biplane bomber of World War I. A fighter version of it was also produced as the BUC and BLC; some of these saw service with the British Royal Navy, which called them 'the Bréguet 'de Chasse.
The CAMS 55 was a reconnaissance flying boat built in France in the late 1920s which equipped the French Navy throughout the 1930s.
The Savoia-Marchetti SM.62 was an Italian single-engine maritime patrol flying boat produced from 1926. It served with the Regia Aeronautica and with a number of foreign users, and was licence-produced in Spain and the Soviet Union. Some of the Spanish aircraft were still in service during the Spanish Civil War
The DFW R.I,, was a prototype German bomber aircraft of World War I.
The Letord Let.5 was probably the most numerous of a family of 3-seat reconnaissance bombers, designed and built in France from 1916, originally to an A3 specification from the STAé.
The Voisin Triplanes were large experimental bombers built by Voisin in 1915 and 1916. After unsuccessful trials of the 1915 prototype a modified version with more powerful engines was built in 1916, as the Voisin E.28, but the type did not enter production.
The Siemens-Schuckert L.I was a large, three-engined biplane bomber aircraft, built in Germany towards the end of World War I. It was a twin boom design, strongly influenced by the successful Caproni Ca.3. Three were built but not used operationally.
The Voisin VI or Voisin Type 6 was a French pusher biplane bomber aircraft of World War I.
The Tellier T.2 was a French two-seat patrol biplane flying-boat built by Société Alphonse Tellier et Cie à Neuilly (hull) and Voisin (wings). The wooden-hull flying boat used a 150 kW (200 hp) Hispano-Suiza 8Ba engine and was first flown in June 1916.
The Schneider Henri-Paul was a French four-engined night bomber with an all-metal airframe. A single example was built and flown in 1922.
The Voisin VIII was a French two-seat biplane pusher which was built in two versions, one fitted with a 37mm Hotchkiss cannon, and the other as a conventional bomber. Problems with the Peugeot engine led to a short operational career with front line units before being superseded by the Voisin X, which aside from the installation of a new Renault engine, was nearly identical to the VIII.
The Voisin X was a French two-seat pusher biplane which was built in two versions, one fitted with a 37 mm (1.46 in) Hotchkiss cannon, and the other as a conventional night bomber. Problems with the Peugeot engine in the previous Voisin VIII led to the installation of a new Renault engine of greater power and reliability, but the new aircraft was otherwise nearly identical to the VIII. Despite its obsolescence, it would make up the bulk of front line night bomber escadrilles until the end of the war.
The Bréguet XI was a prototype French biplane bomber of the First World War.
The Voisin XII was a prototype French two-seat four-engine biplane bomber built near the end of the First World War but which did not enter service.
The Voisin VII was a French reconnaissance pusher biplane aircraft of World War I.
The Maurice Farman MF.16 was a French reconnaissance aircraft developed before World War I by the Farman Aviation Works.
The Paul Schmitt PS.10 was a prototype World War I French two-seat biplane bomber.
The Paul Schmitt P.S.7 was a French World War I two-seat biplane bomber that dispensed with the novel variable incidence wing used on prior designs.
The Hansa-Brandenburg W.23 was a German flying boat fighter of World War I.
