Caudron CR.714 "Cyclone" FlightModel DISCUSSION!
#5

if this plane was underpowered, very weak gunpower (only 4x 7.5mm 300rpg) and the renault 12R03 hate overspeed
it was also very very light with 1400kg empty and a take off weight of 1750kg!
with its small wing area of 12.5m2 he was faster than a ms406 with 486km/h recorded!

thus he had the same speed and armement of a H-75A1....

the Cr.714 was fly by valiant and determited polish pilots only in one squadron (CG I/145) (a dozen of victory for 4 pilot lost)
after the 11 june they will go in england where they contribute to a memorable way the Battle of Britain Big Grin
