Leveque
Henri Leveque was first associated with Donnet, building flyingboats designed by Denhaut; when Denhaut left Donnet-Leveque, the firm kept building designs derived from Denhaut's, but known as Leveques. One of the Salmson-powered Leveques (the Leveque-Salmson) painted with the number 15 flew at Deauville in August 1913; a Gnome-powered machine, No 6, flew in the same meet.

Louis Schreck bought up the company and with his own firm, les Ateliers d'Artois, formed a new one, the Franco-British Aviation Company, known as FBA; and during the War he built flyingboats in great numbers.
