Brissard

   This big monoplane being built by LA Brissard at Givat in northern France was intended by the designer to fly to the North Pole, but it had not been completed by 1 May 1914. The fuselage was nearly completely enclosed for the crew and an engine, which drove 2 propellers set in 2 large open tunnels attached to the fuselage sides. A completed model showed broad curved wings and a small curved tailplane and rudder set aft. The whole structure was gracefully faired together.
