Gourdou-Leseurre GL.2

The Gourdou-Leseurre GL.2 (originally the Gourdou-Leseurre Type B) was a French fighter which made its maiden flight in 1918. It was a development of the Gourdou-Leseurre Type A which had shown pleasing performance during testing but which had been ultimately rejected by the Aéronautique Militaire due to concerns about the rigidity of the wing.
