models revert to a _Bleriot_ type. Warping wings. Fuselage entirely
enclosed, rectilineal with rounded nose.

Berthier, Paris. Flying ground: Bois d'Arcy par St. Ayr (S. et O.) Hydro
school: Juan-les-Pins, par Antibes (Alpes Maritimes).
Founded by the well-known aviator, L. Paulhan. He first produced
biplanes, then triplanes and finally a monoplane type, the

devotes itself to building hydro-aeroplanes under Curtiss (U.S.A.)
license. Principal type built are:--

This firm has produced various types in the past, but at present,
