History The Société Aérienne Bordelaise was established in 1930 when the Société de Travaux Dyle et Bacalan, which had specialized mainly in railways, public works and shipbuilding, decided to establish a branch dedicated to aeronautical construction. Most of the aircraft built by SAB remained in the project stage and no production followed.
In 1935 the Société Aérienne Bordelaise, like most private French aviation industries was nationalized,Il y a 75 ans, les nationalisations de l’aéronautique française following which in 1936 it became part of the Société nationale des constructions aéronautiques du sud-ouest (SNCASO).
