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. It is unclear when he started building his own designs. After the closure of Constructions Aéronautiques J. Levy circa 1927, Pierre Levasseur Constructions Aéronautiques built the LB.2 shipboard fighter.

Now, at least in terms of patent filing done by this firm, as opposed to that done by Pierre Levasseur as an individual, we do have Espacent evidence of Pierre Levasseur Constructions Aéronautiques filing in 1932 and 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.

Dir1920 p26, making propellers.
