Jodel model information

In 1946, Edouard Joly and Jean Delemontez decided to join forces and to create a company devoted to "the study, construction and repair of all aerial equipment". Using the first syllables of their two names, they call it "Jodel aircraft". They set up a small workshop along the Seurre road at Challanges near Beaune, and repaired gliders for the Light and Sport Aviation Service.
