leyreynolds Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I'm confused as to the dimensions of the Type L. Cyberspace lists span as 11.2m and length 6.88m but I have seen these quoted in books/magazines as 10.2m and 6.3m. Any clarification will be much appreciated.

stevehed Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 There isn't a standard set of dimensions. Off the top of my head the span can vary between 33 feet and 36 feet. The L was manufactured in France, Germany and Russia and no doubt others. If you Google Morane, Pfalz and probably DUX you should get a variety of L types.

Torbjorn Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) The Thulin Type D, a license-produced MS type L with some modifications, is quoted as 6.54 m and wingspan 11.0 m, so if you happen to see those particular numbers it might be from there.

jimmaas Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 The 1997 Flying Machines Press tome French Aircraft of the First World War , by Dr. James Davilla and Aurthur Soltan, lists both French and Russian (Lebedev and Dux) versions as 11.2 m span and 6.88 length. I realise the comprehennsive scope and heft (I find I am having trouble lifting it anymore) of the book is no guarantee of authority, but it does dovetail with the Windsock Datafile by Bruce, a credible source.
