Adolphe-François-Joseph Doutre
Adolphe François Joseph Doutre was an aero inventor and advocate (lawyer), filing patents from 123, rue de Faubourg, Saint-Honoré, Paris, France[1] and also from 21 rue Taubert, Saigon, Cochin China. French patents locate him variably in “Cochinchine”[2] or simply within Seine; France[3], “Seine” being a now-extinct French regional designation quite often used in connexion with Paris and inclusive of the above-mentioned Parisian address. He worked for the French imperial government, in capacities relative to French Indochina. He served specifically as a Barrister of the Court of Appeal of Indochina.[4] This was one position, possibly among several, during a career the inventor seems to have had largely within the “services civils de l'Indo-Chine”.[5]
Hungarian data identifies him as a Lawyer filing from Paris.[6]
See Adolphe-François-Joseph Doutre on geneanet.org.
He traveled a lot. More biographical info would be good here.
He appears to have started a company that manufactured some kind of aircraft stabilization system around 1911: Société des Appareils d'Aviation Doutre He published this book: https://books.google.com/books/about/La_stabilisation_automatique_longitudina.html?id=kHDVAAAAMAAJ It might be the same as his articles we already have. 28 pages. Nicely and completely scanned online at books.google.
An Ecole Doutre is referred to from around the same time: http://www.blamont.info/textes399.html
