Caudron C.230

The Caudron C.230 was a sporting, touring and trainer aircraft produced in France in 1930. It was a conventional biplane with single-bay, unstaggered wings of equal span. The pilot and a single passenger sat in tandem open cockpits. It featured a wooden fuselage with plywood skin.
Fifteen examples were produced before the much improved and very successful Caudron C.270 Luciole series appeared.
