There seems to be some discrepancy as to which Maurice Farman Type was used by the Japanese, during the Battle of Tsingtao.

yes, at that time, in 1914; there were 2 Farman aircraft types in military use: the MF.7 and MF.11. Aside from both being

biplanes, these 2 designs were very different in appearance. The MF.7 is easily identified from the MF.11, in that the MF.7 "Longhorn" had it's elevator mounted well ahead of the pilot's position, on curving booms. The MF.11's elevators were mounted at the rear of the craft, with the rudders, thus a "Shorthorn" front, with no forward structure at all. One author or another, in the separate Farman-Type articles, quotes both of these Types as having been floatplanes at that battle. The photos of the actual aircraft types are clearly...if the time and locations are to be trusted...of a MF.11, with floats, being lowered off the seaplane tender; and not an MF.7. It is possible that the Japanese did have both types in inventory; but no author has ever stated that both types were at the battle. One of these two articles; Farman MF.7 or MF.11; is in error. There may be a further error, perhaps in the "Battle" article, claiming the MF.11 is the "Longhorn". Definitely incorrect. Regards J Grannell 68.48.100.110 (talk) 07:33, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
