In 1918, Henri FARMAN designed a modern biplane.

The F.50 Goliath was to be a bomber capable of carrying 1000 kg of bombs over a 1500 km circuit.But it arrived too late to take part in the conflict.

The aircraft was then converted into a commercial civil passenger aircraft and renamed the F.60

After several publicity flights, the first commercial flight was planned between Toussus le Noble and London.

As non-military flights were not authorized at that time, Lucien Bossoutrot and his passengers were all former military pilots wearing the appropriate uniform and mission order.

 The outbound flight lasts 2 hours and 30 minutes.

On April 3, 1919, 14 passengers were transported to an altitude of 6,200 m (20,341 ft).

On August 11, 1919, an F.60 carried eight passengers and one ton of equipment from Paris to Koufa, via Casablanca and Mogador, 180 km north of Saint-Louis du Senegal, a flight of over 4,500 km.

 The airlines, which appeared very quickly throughout Europe, were quick to acquire the F.60.
