The Blériot XLII was a First World War French reconnaissance plane designed and built by Blériot.
The crew was housed in a partially armored cabin. A small window was installed in front of the fuselage to facilitate observation. For reconnaissance, the observer lay horizontally on the cabin floor.[1]
The Bleriot XLII was built in March 1913 for use as a reconnaissance and observation aircraft. It was a double mid-flight, equipped with an 80 hp Gnome engine. The Bleriot XLII passed the test cycle, but the military was not interested.
