Historical Description

The Caudron C-445 Goéland was a French multi-purpose aircraft produced by the Caudron company in the 1930s. From 1935, it was mainly used as a light passenger, transport, and training plane, being a unique design among European civil and military aviation of the period. The aircraft was widely used by France before and during World War II, both in civil and military service (Armée de l'Air, Luftwaffe, and later even the Free French Air Forces and Spain during the Civil War).
