"Not familiar"

Ha, that's a laugh. With all due respect I dare contradict you, Sir (as you know I am a very brave hero). "Not familiar"? You know a lot more on this than most French people including myself, even if you just found the details in some documents and the like. So please allow me to congratulate you.

Here are just a few SMALL corrections which don't change anything in what I just wrote above:

"The Société nationale des constructions aéronautiques……"

There was a number of similar "nationalised" names but with "de" instead of "des".

Breguet has no accent (not Bréguet). Most French people make this error.

"...at Issy-les-Moulineaux, just outside Paris"

- Correct. It's a direct neighbour of the city of Paris (SW boundary); Issy is like a continuation of SW Paris. I lived there for some time when I was a student.

Bouguenais has only one N.

You see, all this is really not serious, you need not be scared by a possible French revenge.
