Talk:Peyret-Le Prieur seaplane

Naming edit

Aircraft names from small manufacturers was often vague in the 1920s. French journals of the time, the best reporters, refer to it as "l'hydravion Peyret" or "l'hydravion Peyret-Le Prieur" etc but there is no name or number; "l'hydravion" is not a name but a description of its type. Hence the choice of Peyret-Le Prieur seaplane, a direct translation into English. In the very early days Blériot used the description "hydroplane" for his floatplanes but no one else did.TSRL (talk) 21:48, 29 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
