Louis-Pierre-Guilhaume Balestrié
Louis-Pierre-Guilhaume Balestrié, sometimes listed simply as Louis Balestrie was an aero inventor working with elaborate precision within the heavier-than-air field. We have him as “Louis Balestrie” and located at département Bouches-du-Rhône, France.[1] We have him as “Louis Balestrie” and located at rue Monge, 46, Paris, département Seine, France.[2] We have him as “Louis-Pierre-Guilhaume Balestrié” and using that same address.[3] That repeated address across both name variations served as perhaps our final proof that the two name forms referred to the same inventor. We have him as “Louis-Pierre-Guilhaume Balestrié” and situated at avenue du Maine, 178, Paris, département Seine, France.[4]
The simply-titled “Machine volante” of Patent FR-1908-395696 was actually an aircraft designed decoratively to actually resemble a bird. It combined wings of the flapping variety with a central propeller, the latter used exclusively in the interests of forward propulsion.
