J.Davilla, A.Soltan French Aircraft of the First World War (Flying Machines)

Bleriot Aeronautique

<...>
  The next aircraft was built by Gabriel Voisin for Bleriot. It too was a floatplane but was powered by two Antoinette 25-hp engines and had ring-shaped wings. Despite numerous modifications (including fitting a single 50-hp Antoinette in place of the two smaller engines) the aircraft never flew. It was one of the earliest to be fitted with ailerons.

    Bleriot's third try. The forward elevator cell is set between the wings, with 2 propellers in front of it. Louis Bleriot embarked on a somewhat hit-and-miss programme of experimentation with his No III floatplane, seen here on Lac d'Enghien in 1906. It subsequently underwent a number of transformations, but never took to the air.
