With Marshall Plan aid he set up a modern plant. In two years he turned out 300 twin-engine Flamant passenger planes for the French air force and navy. Next he turned out the Ouragan (hurricane) jet fighter, landed a French air force order for 350, and began building the first of five new factories.
