Brothers Aimé and Joseph Behaeghe completed their monoplane, which probably appeared in 1912. This last machine of the Behaeghe brothers was built for the Belgian pilot Duyck. It was fitted with a 50 hp Anzani 5-cylinder and a propeller made by the Behaeghe brothers. Wing span was 7,50 meter, length 4,75 meter and wing surface 12 sq.m.
Brothers Aimé and Joseph Behaeghe completed their first aeroplane, a biplane of their own design powered by a 25hp engine, in 1910, after 12 months work. Evidently this aircraft had a limited performance but, undeterred, the brothers went on to build other aircraft.
Designed by Glen Beets, the G/B is a single-seat, open-cockpit sporting plane featuring a high parasol-braced wing and conventional tailwheel type landing gear. While the fuselage is a fabric-covered steel tube structure, the wing is built with spruce spars and ribs, also fabric covered. All plans, kits, and components are sold through the Stolp Starduster Corp.
The engine uses a 2.5:1 gear reduction unit designed and built by Beets and Fred Nelson.

In 1962, the SFERMA (French Society for Maintenance and Repair of Aeronautical Equipment) modified a Model 95 Travel Air by fitting it with the swept tail units of the Model 55 “Baron” and by replacing the piston engines with two Astazou IIA turboprop of 440hp.
Seventeen Model 55 “Baron” cells are also re-engineered, including three for Beechcraft, and an eighteenth is not completed.
The PD-146 “Marquis” n°2 (F-BJSI) is re-engined with Astazou X 600hp turbines and established several world speed records in its category (C-1-d, Group 2):
On February 21, 1964, 1,000km at 502.12km / h (piloted by Maurice Oppeneau and Jacques Boisbeau).
On June 19, 1964, 2,000km at 446.92km / h (piloted by Maurice Oppeneau and Jacques Boisbeau).
