Louis Augustin Peyret
Peyret gave names to his earlier design but, aside from the Peyret VI and one Flight reference to a ‘PM 4’, there is no obvious aircraft numbering (although Peyret’s airfoil designs were numbered). Peyret was associated with numerous gliders (eg: Georges Abrial) and tandem-wing projects (eg: with Louis Paulhan and the Albessard Triavion).
Louis Peyret began aircraft construction with a tandem wing glider, winning a Daily Mail £1,000 prize in 1922. Following year he produced a light airplane, which subsequently crashed, and later a light seaplane for M. Le Prieur, the Aibessard monoplane and the Mauboussin P.M.4 single-seat monoplane. Peyret became technical Avions Mauboussin.
Petlyakov was a Russian designer who headed a bureau before and during Second World War. Notable designs were the PE-2 light bomber and PE-8 four-engined heavy bomber, the latter a development of the 1936 ANT-42 with more powerful engines. The PE-8 entered service in 1941.

In 1932 it was reported that Peterson & Campbell built a two-place, open cockpit, high-wing monoplane, powered by a 100hp Kinner K-5 engine.
Registered NX12273 c/n 1, Campbell had, on 2 January 1933, requested its Experimental license be cancelled as being “not fit to be flown.”
Owner Peterson later wrote CAA that he had no idea why the registration was cancelled. The two entered into a lawsuit, with the plane finally being sold 14 May 1935 to a R L McCreery with conditions that it would never again be sold, would never have a stress analysis or plans made, would never be licensed, and the wing and fuselage would be destroyed and junked.
McCleery notified CAA on 7 November 1935 that it had, indeed, been salvaged. He had ostensibly bought only an engine. CAA cancelled the registration on 7 November 1935.
It crashed on altitude record attempt and Peterson was killed.
The 1932 Peters Aircraft Co Play Plane, or National Aircraft Builders Corp (NABA) Sportster was a single-place monoplane aimed at the lightplane home-builder market.
Originally powered by a 28hp Lawrance engine, by 1938 it had a 40hp Continental.
They were priced at $987, and $1,185 for a proposed two-place version. Two were built, NX10682 and NX15511 but unknown if any were built by others.
In 1929 Peters Aircraft Co built the AL-1 aircraft, NX845M, powered by a 40hp Ford A engine.

Peterborough Aircraft Company Ltd acquired what little remained of Aeronca circa 1938, including the uncompleted Aeronca 300. A revised version of that was produced as the Peterborough Ely 700 prototype, registered G-AEVE, but met with no success.
On 16 September 1938, Flt-Lt Bernard J.W. Brady, along with John PA Fulton, another director from Aircraft Exchange and Mart, formed the Peterborough Aircraft Company Ltd to acquire what little remained of Aeronca, including the uncompleted Aeronca 300. A revised version of that was produced as the Peterborough Ely, but met with no success.
A side-by-side two seat cabin monoplane with tricycle undercarriage designed by J.H.Payne and built by Peterborough Aero Club in 1939.
It was registered G-AFZT c/n G.1 and taken to Slingsby’s at Kirknymoorside for competition but was still not finished. The Guardian was to have been powered by a Cirrus I engine but was broken up soon after the war finished.
