IAL (Imbert and Latour)

   Early in 1909 Imbert and Latour publicized the beginning of their aircraft work at Le Vesinet, near Paris. They built a tractor monoplane with rectangular - slightly drooping - wings, a long uncovered box fuselage with a long rectangular rudder set on top and a rectangular elevator surface pivoted behind it. The pilot sat inside the fuselage behind the wing. A water-cooled straight 4 engine was set out ahead level with the wing.
