1912 Donnet-Lévêque

The basic design of this aircraft was done by Francois-Victor Denhaut, a successful bicyclist. The engine, a 50 hp Grôme, was donated by the Swiss engineer Jacques Donnet. Donnet and the automobile manufacturer Henri Lévêque formed a company to manufacture this aircraft. Several aircraft were manufactured.

Donnet-Lévêque became Franco-British-Aviation (FBA). See French Aeroplanes Before the Great War by Leonard E. Opdycke
