Cau 2, CAN 2[edit]

Don't understand these; I know C is for Chasseuer, fighter and two means two seat but what is the rest? And why two forms? The contemporary Aérophile uses the first, Green and Swanborough the second.TSRL (talk) 19:45, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly stands for Chasseur a Nuit - Night fighter, the Cau is most probably a misunderstanding or typo.--Petebutt (talk) 11:08, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I wondered about a typo. It's possible and the CàN sounds good, but Cau is in the only contemporary source we have. I thought I'd seen a list of these somewhere but can't find it. BTW, do we know where Parmentier got his figures from?TSRL (talk) 13:37, 20 August 2014 (UTC) Cau only appears once in l'Aérophile but no alternatives appear either; perhaps a misprint is the problem. Leo was a typo - thanks for fixing.TSRL (talk) 13:44, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
