Société des Hydroaéroplanes Lévêque

This company was the remains of Société des Hydroaéroplanes Donnet-Lévêque after the departure in 1913 of Donnet and designer Denhault. Donnet-Lévêque had been expected to build flying boats for the Franco-British Aviation Co. (FBA) formed January 1913, and it appears that that endeavor went to Société des Hydroaéroplanes Lévêque, which was absorbed later in 1913 by FBA. Information in 2dG suggests that the firm name Hydroaéroplanes Lévêque may have continued.

Société des Hydroaéroplanes Lévêque apparently built a Donnet-Lévêque type flying boat in 1913 at the former Donnet-Lévêque factory under the designation Lévêque; then apparently built Donnet-Lévêque type flying boats under designations of Franco-British Aviation (FBA), which acquired Hydroaéroplanes Lévêque in 1913.
