The Le Blond Aircraft Engine Corporation of Cincinnati, Ohio, was organized early in 1928 after the R. K. Le Blond Machine Tools Co., the parent organization in whose plant the engine manufacturing activities were conducted, purchased the physical assets of the Detroit Aircraft Engine Corporation. Production was begun in the fall of 1928 on the Le Blond 60, which was the Detroit "Aircat" engine incorporating a new cylinder design among other minor detail changes.

The engine received Approved Type Certificate No. 12 as a result of a test conducted at the Naval Aircraft Factory in Philadelphia, and was the first engine in the low-power class to successfully pass a Navy test. The engine's Type Certificate expired on December 1, 1935, because the manufacture of this model had been discontinued.

Le Blond 60 engines powered aircraft such as the Aeromarine-Klemm AKL-26/A/B, American Eagle A-429, Nicholas-Beazley Barling NB-3, and Davis Model D-1. V-3,
