Design and development
The Goliath was initially designed in 1918 as a heavy bomber capable of carrying 1000 kg of bombs with a range of 1500 km. A heavy bomber is a Bomber aircraft of the largest size and typically longest ranges It was a conventional fixed-undercarriage biplane of wooden construction with canvas covering, powered by two Salmson Z. 9 engines. It had a simple and robust, yet light structure. The wings were rectangular with a constant profile. Hollow wooden main wing spars were used for the first time.
It was undergoing initial testing when World War I came to an end and Farman realized there would be no orders for his design. World War I (abbreviated WWI; also known as the First World War, the Great War, and the War to End All Nonetheless he was quick to understand that the big, box-like, fuselage of the Goliath could be easily modified to convert the aircraft into an airliner. Commercial aviation was beginning to appear and was in need of purpose-built aircraft. With the new passenger cabin arrangement, the Goliath could carry up to 12 or 14 passengers. It had large windows to give the passengers a view of the surroundings. The Salmson engines could be replaced by others types (Renault, Lorraine) if a customer desired it. Approximately sixty F. 60 Goliath were built.

Operational history
Farman was quick to press the Goliath into service and made several publicity flights. On February 8, 1919, the Goliath flew 12 passengers from Toussus-le-Noble to Kenley, near Croydon. Events 421 - Constantius III becomes co- Emperor of the Western Roman Empire.

Kenley is a district in the south of the London Borough of Croydon. Croydon is a large town and major commercial centre in South London, and the principal settlement of the London Borough of Croydon. As British authorities were refusing to give a commercial airliner permission to overfly British territory, Lucien Bossoutrot and his passengers were all ex-military pilots who wore uniforms and mission orders for the circumstance. The flight went well and lasted 2 hours and 30 minutes. The pilot and passengers were well received in England, the return flight being made on February 9 and lasting 2 hours and 10 minutes.
Other flights were made to publicize the Goliath. On April 3, 1919, 14 passengers were flown to an altitude of 6200 m (20,341 ft). Events 1043 - Edward the Confessor is crowned King of England.

The Compagnie des Grands Express Aériens was a pioneering French Airline established 20 March 1919 and operating until merged with The Compagnie des Messageries Aériennes (CMA) soon followed suit. The Société Générale de Transports Aérien (SGTA) opened a Paris-Brussels route in July 1920, flown by the Goliath.
