Maurice Mallet

Maurice Mallet (1861–1926) was a cofounder of the company later called Zodiac Aerospace.

In 1899, it was renamed Ateliers de Constructions Aéronautiques Maurice Mallet.

The Mallet workshops prospered thanks to regular orders from the Aéro-Club de France, the French flying club.

It then experienced a boom in the construction of airplanes and airships, especially for the Aérostation Maritime (Naval Balloon Command) and through its participation in World War I.
