The Farman series "400" was a revolution for its builder because it had a thin, cantilever-constructed, high wing, with round edges, which could be dismounted for better storage and transportation.

The fuselage was made of steel tubes, while the wings had a wood frame.

This version, the Farman F 402, had a Lorraine 5 Pb 5-cylinder radial engine of 110 hp (82 kW), but the plane in the picture had it changed for a 9-cylinder radial engine Salmson of 120 hp (89 kW).

This aircraft served, among other countries, in Spain, during the 1936-1939 civil war, on both sides.

This plane was used in Zaragoza during the Spanish Civil War as a transport, communication and ambulance aircraft.
