Pierre-Georges Latécoère

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pierre-Georges Latécoère (1883–1943) was a pioneer of aeronautics. Born in Bagnères-de-Bigorre, he studied in the École Centrale Paris and, after the First World War, started a business in aeronautics. He directed plants that made planes and opened the first airlines that operated from France to Africa and South America.

The Latécoère company still exists in 2007.
