Salmson 5

The Salmson 5 was a French reconnaissance plane from World War I, introduced in 1917 specifically for artillery observation missions. It was based on the Salmson 2 model but exhibited a reduced speed by approximately 23 km/h and failed to demonstrate notable improvements. Consequently, production was limited to a single example.
