Clément-Bayard (France)

Clément-Bayard was an important early French manufacturer of aircraft engines and lighter-than-air vehicles. They built three HOAE. A contemporary reference is the 1920 book by E. Charles Vivian (ECV) in which a chapter covers horizontally-opposed aircraft engines. The Clément-Bayard engines are described as notable engines among several HOAE from various countries. Vivian's book is available on the Internet and can be found here.
