Farman III
The Farman III, also known as the Henry Farman 1909 biplane, was an early French aircraft designed and built by Henry Farman〔(Monash University: ''Hargrave Histories – Henry Farman'' ) History and photos〕〔(Henry Farman's "No.3" Biplane )''Flight'', 24 April 1909, p. 235.〕 in 1909. Its design was widely imitated, so much so that aircraft of similar layout were generally referred to as being of the "Farman" type.
==Background==
Henry Farman's first aircraft had been bought from the Voisin brothers in 1907. Soon after his first flights Farman began to modify and improve the design of the aircraft, which was known as either the Farman I or Voisin-Farman I. During 1908 Farman re-covered the aircraft with 'Continental' rubberized fabric and added the side-curtains, and it was re-designated the Farman I-bis.〔Opdycke 1999, p. 264.〕
Following the Wilbur Wright's flying demonstrations at Le Mans in August 1908, Farman fitted ailerons to the aircraft.
The Voisin brothers built another aircraft, to be called the Farman II, incorporating refinements of the design to Farman's specification. Voisin later sold this aircraft to J.T.C. Moore-Brabazon.〔("Brab's" First Flights ), ''Flight'', 28 May 1964, p. 895.〕 Brabazon subsequently exported the aircraft to England, where it became known as the ''Bird of Passage''. This episode angered Farman, and caused him to sever his association with Voisin in early 1909 and start aircraft construction for himself.
