Gaston Caudron (actually Alphonse) (Favières, 18 January 1882 - 10 December 1915) and René Caudron (Favières, 1 July 1884 - 27 September 1959) were French aviation pioneers. They founded the world's first flying school and built the world's first seaplane.
The Caudron brothers were farmers with a passion for aviation, which was then gaining popularity. In the spring of 1908, they built a glider with which they made their first flights on the fields of a farm (Ferme de Romiotte) a few kilometres from Le Crotoy. The aircraft was pulled by a horse. In this way, they realised six flights over a distance of between 800 and 1200 m. René piloted the glider. In 1909, they founded the company Aéroplanes Caudron Frères and from 1910 the Société des avions Caudron, initially established in Le Crotoy and later in Rue. They acquired a special place in the history of aviation. In 1910, they founded the first flying school in the world, attracting future pilots, and in August 1910, René obtained his pilot's license in Le Touquet. In March 1911, Gaston obtained his civil aviation license. In 1912, the brothers built the first seaplane in the world.
