The Marcel Besson canard hydroplane was exhibited as a model at the Grand Palais in Paris, which hosted the 1912 Exposition Internationale Aéronautique (Salon de l’Aviation), along with a full scale landplane. A full scale hydroplane, powered by an 80 hp Gnôme, was built and tested in late 1912.
The 1911 Besson canard monoplane was designed by Marcel Besson and built by Louis Clement.
