Marcel Bouilloux-Lafont (born with Angouleme the April 9th 1871, deceased with Rio de Janeiro February 2nd 1944) is a French Banquier and business man.
In 1926, it repurchases with Pierre-Georges Latécoère the postal line Toulouse - Saint-Louis of Senegal and gives him the name of Air-mail General Company more known under the name of Aéropostale. In 1930, the Air-mail General Company exploits a network of 17000 kilometers, gathering 80 pilots, 250 mechanics, 53 radios, 250 sailors. It has 218 planes, 21 seaplanes and 8 ships. The assessment is deposited on March 28th, 1931. A politico-financial cabal follows, transformed into an enormous scandal poked by the enemies of Bouilloux-Lafont who wished their elimination of the aeronautical scene.
Marcel Bouilloux-Lafont made a point of passing his pilot's license (formed by Jean Mermoz) and contributed much to the legend of the Air-mail one.
