Gabriel Voisin continued the company after his brother, that is, Charles Voisin, died in 1912.
During WWI, this company delivered some 10,000 aircraft, almost all being pusher biplanes with two front and two rear wheels, four ailerons, cruciform tail, and robust airframe made largely of steel. The few departures from this layout included the large BN4 night-bomber biplane with four 300hp Hispano push-pull motors; built in 1920 this was the last aircraft built by Gabriel before he turned his attention to cars. Source SD296 does not mention any aircraft after 1912.
