         A 
         biplane "pusher" developed by the French, the Maurice Farman S.11, more 
         commonly known as the "Shorthorn," lacked the characteristic forward 
         elevator of the Maurice Farman Longhorn. With the nacelle positioned 
         half-way up the interplane struts, the pilot was seated well ahead of 
         the wings and the aircraft was ideally suited to its initial role as a 
         reconnaissance bomber. Adopted by most of the Allied air services, the 
         Shorthorn was often equipped with dual controls and widely used as a 
         trainer throughout much of the war.
