Pierre Levasseur Constructions Aéronautiques
Revision as of 14:56, 3 January 2021 by AvionHerbert (talk | contribs) (Espacenet evidence of the firm filing filing at least as late as 1955, Caudron and Morane-Saulnier connections found elsewhere, via ordinary Wikipedia searching, first pass ; I've been distracted by a Pierre Levasseur filed in Greece)
Pierre Levasseur made propellers first, beginning 1913, built aircraft designed by others; later built his own designs, mostly single-engined biplanes for the French Navy, although he did build an Army figher. Unclear when he started building his own designs. After closure of Constructions Aéronautiques J. Levy circa 1927, built the LB.2 shipboard fighter.
Now, at least in terms of patent filing, we do have Espacent evidence of Pierre Levasseur Constructions Aéronautiques filing at least as late as 1955. We must look at these and other corporate particulars, inclusive of connections to Caudron and Morane-Saulnier.
