   This 1910 monoplane was built by Georges and Gendre at Villemobile (or by L Tatte Ch de Langhe and Corville) from plans by M Tabarly. It had arched undercarriage, a Bleriot-style wing and trestle pylon, and tail a la Vendome - the tailplane set above the rear end of the fuselage, with small semicircular rudders above and below, and triangular fins. Pictures also show it without the upper fin.
