Lioré et Olivier |
|
The Société
de Constructions Aéronautiques d'hydravions Lioré-et-Olivier
had three factories, located in Argenteuil, Clichy, Hauts-de-Seine
and Rochefort, Charente-Maritime. The company was nationalized
in 1936, following which it was merged with Chantiers aéronavals
Étienne Romano, Potez, CAMS and SPCA in order to form
the Société nationale des constructions aéronautiques
du Sud-Est (SNCASE) on the 1st of February 1937. The factory
at Rochefort, however, went into SNCASO. |
