Pierre Levasseur was a French aircraft designer. His company, the Sociéte Pierre Levasseur Aéronautique, produced aircraft for the French Navy.
François Denhaut (1877–1952) was the chief pilot of Pierre Levasseur's flying school. Georges Abrial (1898 – ?), an early French aerodynamicist, also worked with him (they produced the Levasseur-Abrial A-1 together).
The White Bird (L'Oiseau Blanc or The White Dove) was a Levasseur PL.8 biplane which disappeared in 1927, during an attempt to make the first non-stop transatlantic flight between Paris and New York.
