Sud-Ouest
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Société nationale des constructions aéronautiques du sud-ouest (SNCASO, or commonly, Sud-Ouest) was a French aircraft manufacturer, which originated on November 16, 1936, from the merger of the factories of Blériot of Suresnes, Bloch of Villacoublay et Courbevoie, SASO of Bordeaux-Mérignac, UCA of Bordeaux-Bègles, SAB (Société Aérienne Bordelaise) of Bordeaux-Bacalan and Lioré et Olivier of Rochefort.
It integrated the SNCAO (Société nationale de constructions aéronautiques de l'ouest) in 1941.
On March 1, 1957, SNCASO merged with SNCASE (Société nationale de constructions aéronautiques du sud-est), to form Sud Aviation.
