Lecoq-Monteiro-Aillaud

   A series of monoplanes under these names (sometimes reported as Monsevro-Allaud) were introduced from 1910 to 1913; the first one was tested by Collardeau, and had wings "which recalled Ader's Avion." A photograph in a 1910 issue of La Revue de V Aviation showed Collardeau in a clear-doped LMA monoplane, seated in a closed box to which the bat-shaped wings were attached directly; they curved downward and may have been swept forward. The tailplane was shaped like a bird's, and there may have been no rudder. A 3-cylinder engine, probably an Anzani, was fitted at the forward tip of a pin-pointed fairing.
   During the 1911 Salon the firm's catalog showed 2 much more advanced machines, single - and 2-seaters at 50 hp; and 3 and 4 places at 100 hp. The photographs show a handsome long-winged monoplane with dihedral and raked wingtips. The engine was fully cowled, with 4 exhaust pipes showing under the cowl. 2 small wheels were set at the ends of a long axle, with a central single skid.
