The Tellier T.3 and T.6 were only capable of carrying a light payload, so the Tellier T.4 and Tellier T.5 were designed for a heavier bomb load. The T.5 mounted a pair of Hispano-Suiza engines back-to-back in a push-pull configuration. An order was placed in mid-1918, but only about ten were completed before the Armistice. [1]
