Entrepreneur Alan Calassa lent his replicas of 14-bis and Demoiselle for production.[3]

Back in Brazil, with the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, he does not accept retirement, he builds The Enchanted, where he invents the Martian converter that is tested by Yolanda Penteado.

The Constitutionalist Revolution of 1932 began to take its toll, where Dumont believes he is responsible for preventing conflict between brothers. This continued until his final act.[10]
