Research in 1916 to reduce aircraft drag results in filing for a patent 9 January 1917 for parasol-winged fighter. Prototype made for French Aviation Militare at propeller manufacturer Societe Wassmer; by 1919 WWI armistice, 20 improved fighters had been made for Aviation Militaire by Mayen and Zodiac. The partners then established their own factory at St. Maur les Fosses.
Need to research other manufacturing firms listed in products description for possible inclusion; also such research would help establish location of the partners.
Partners were Charles Edouard Pierre Gourdou and Jean Adolfe Leseurre.
