The Société
des Avions Marcel Bloch was a French aircraft manufacturer of
military and civilian aircraft that changed its name to Dassault
Aviation after the end of World War II. It was founded by Marcel
Bloch (hence "MB" in the aircraft designations) who
changed his name to Marcel Dassault (as in char d'assaut, French
for "assault tank") due to persecution of Jews under
the Vichy French regime. |
