The AS 332 Super Puma was a development of the SA 330 Puma, which flew for the first time in April 1965.

Developed as a general-purpose, light-weight helicopter for military and civil use, the Gazelle was produced in large quantities both by Aerospatiale in France and Westland in the United Kingdom, as well as being assembled in Yugoslavia.

Designed as a replacement for the widely used Alouette series of general- purpose helicopters, the Dauphin was initially produced in two versions; the single-engine model fitted with a Turbomeca Astazou turboshaft of 783-kw (1,050-shp); and the twin-engine model powered by two Arriel turboshafts.

Designed by the French company, Sud Aviation, which later became part of Aerospatiale, the national aerospace company, the Alouette II was one of the early success stories in the development, production and marketing of helicopters in France.

The Alouette III was first placed in production by Sud Aviation in 1961 as a general-purpose helicopter for both civil and military applications.

The Lama was developed by Aerospatiale in France mainly to meet the requirements of the Indian armed forces for a light utility helicopter.

The Puma series of helicopters was designed and developed by the National Aerospatiale Company in France in the early 1960s to meet a requirement of the French Army for a medium-lift, twin-engine, helicopter.

Andrew Delfosse Badgery in January 1914 was appointed sole Australian agent for the Caudron series of aircraft fitted with Anzani engines, forming a company General Aviation Contractors Ltd.
