Aeronautical engineering pioneers Gaston Caudron (1882) and René Caudron (1884) were born in Favières.
In the 1930s, while working at the design department of Caudron-Renault, he designed a series of racer aircraft, as well as utility aircraft such as the Caudron Simoun.

Fragile and powered by Le Rhône 80 hp engines, they were not ideal for the trip, and she asked Caudron to send others.
The Caudron fighter was also used by the Polish training squadron based in Bron near Lyon.
In 1921 Adrienne Bolland, a French test pilot working for Caudron, flew a G.3 across the Andes between Argentina and Chile.
The Caudron G.4 was used to carry out bombing raids deep behind the front line, being used to attack targets as far away as the Rhineland.
The factory, located at Mourmelon was temporarily forced to close when the outbreak of World War I saw most of its workers conscripted into the army, but Borel re-opened in November 1915 to produce military aircraft for France under licence from other manufacturers including Caudron, Nieuport and SPAD.
The London and Provincial Aviation Company was founded in September 1914 running a flying school at Hendon Aerodrome equipped with single seat Caudron biplanes, which it later built under license for use at the school.
As of 1935, he was a regular associate to the l'Institut Aérotechnique de Saint-Cyr-l'École (Aerotehnical Institute in Saint Cyr) as an assistant professor, an associate of the Breguet aircraft factory and later he was engaged as an associate for Caudron-Renault, while also being engaged as associate for the Air Force Secretariat.
Even a general enumeration was overwhelming: seven types of Albatros; four types of Fokkers; three types of Gotha bombers; two types each of Rumpler and Caudron; plus LVG B series, Halberstadts, Pfalzes, Voisins, DeHavillands, Nieuports, a Bristol Bullet, a Farman, a Morane-Saulnier L Parasol, and a Grigorovich G.5.
