Société Aérienne Bordelaise

The Société Aérienne Bordelaise (French pronunciation: [sɔsjete aeʁjɛn bɔʁdəlɛz]; SAB) was an aircraft manufacturing company based in Bordeaux, France.

[1] The predecessor company, Société de Travaux Dyle et Bacalan had been founded in 1879.

[2] The Société Aérienne Bordelaise was established in 1930 when the Société de Travaux Dyle et Bacalan, which had specialized mainly in railways, public works and shipbuilding, decided to establish a branch dedicated to aeronautical construction.

[1] Most of the aircraft built by SAB remained in the project stage and no production followed.

In 1935 the Société Aérienne Bordelaise, like most private French aviation industries was nationalized,[3] following which in 1936 it became part of the Société nationale des constructions aéronautiques du sud-ouest (SNCASO).

The SAB AB-20 bomber project built in 1932.
