DASSAULT, 66 MADELEINE DASSAULT, 90 SERGE and family Paris $1.1 50% of Dassault Aviation; 49% of Serge Dassault Electronics; Saint-Emilion vineyards. Dassault Aviation was one of the few military contractors on the Gulf war. Earnings decreased 36% when contracts with Iraq and Jordan for Mirage jets were canceled last summer just as the planes were to be delivered. Because of sa maman Madeleine’s advanced years and son frere Claude’s inability, brother Serge take over the company and tries to keep the French government from nationalizing the other 50%.
