COMTE 
Flugzeugbau A. Comte built in early/middle 1920s a few German types (e.g. Sablatnig) under license at Hargen, near Zurich. First own-design was AC-1 fighter prototype of 1927; followed by AC-3 twin-engined bomber. Best known for series of small high-wing cabin monoplanes such as three-seat AC-4 Gentleman, built 1928-1930

DORNIER 
By 1926 the German Dornier works at Manzel had become too small, and the main factory was transferred to Altenrhein, in Switzerland. Here, for the next three years, Aktien Gesellschaft far Dornier Flugzeug was occupied in building three Do X flying-boats, the largest aircraft of their time, powered by 12 engines. Two were sold to Italy. Bomber designs followed, the Do N, P, and Y being built 1929-1931. These led to the Do F which, like the Do 11, began in 1933 to reequip the German Air Force. However, in 1932 production was resumed in Germany. The Swiss factory subsequently became the Eidgenossisches Flugzeugwerk (q.v.) 

EFW

EIDGENÖSSICHE (CONSTRUCTIONS WERKSTÄTTE 
Formed at Thun early in First World War. Made aircraft to designs of A. Haefeli, who was earlier with Farman and Ago. First was DH-1 pusher (six built in 1916) showing Ago influence; DH-2 was tractor which went into production as developed DH-3 (110 of these two-seaters built). DH-4 was fighter prototype of 1918; DH-5 (1919; 60 built) a DH-3 replacement; DH-5A a higher-powered version of 1928, with steel-tube fuselage (22 built). To a government specification of 1934 it built the C-35 multipurpose two-seat biplane as a replacement for the Fokker C.V-E, which it resembled, and which the company had produced jointly with Dornier since 1932. C-35 first flown in 1935; 80 delivered from 1937. (See also EIDGENÖSSICHES FLUGZEUGWERKE EMMEN .)
