The Caudron C.270 Luciole (Firefly) was a sporting touring and trainer aircraft produced in France in the 1930s derived from the C.230. It was a conventional biplane with single-bay unstaggered wings of equal span. The pilot and a single passenger sat in tandem open cockpits. It featured a fabric-covered fuselage in place of the C.230's wooden one and other refinements including revised control surfaces and undercarriage and an improved and simplified wing-folding mechanism.
