The only information I can find on the Van den Born is from Davilla and Soltan, who say it was tested in late 1917. Intended for 3 230hp Salmson radials but fitted initially with 80 hp Le Rhones - I don't see how it could have flown on 1/3 the design power so presumably it got something better for the tests. Crew of 5. They give nothing else.
