Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Before the war, the French Air Ministry chose Carpiquet to create, far from the future front, an aerodrome focused on aerial bombardment, for training and observation. In June 1940, the Germans installed an important base there, engaged in the Battle of Britain (book includes never before seen photos) and in their confrontation with the invasion of Dieppe. The aerodrome suffered heavy bombardments. In June and July 1944, it became the keystone of the Battle for Caen. The Hitlerjugend put up strong resistance there against the Canadians. After the war, the aerodrome trained hundreds of pilots involved in the conflict with Algeria and became an army base before returning entirely to civil service in 2010. An exceptional documentation about a base which found itself at the heart of history. 160 pages in colour. TEXT IN FRENCH

Reseña del editor:

French TextBefore the war, the young Air Minister chooses Carpiquet in order to create, far from the future front, an airfield dedicated to bomber instruction, strafing and surveillance. In June 1940, the Germans created there a significant military base dedicated first to the Battle of Britain (previously unpublished photos), then to the Dieppe Raid. Throughout its time, the base suffered heavy bombing, and between June and July 1944, it became the cornerstone of the Battle of Caen. Additionally, the Hitlerjugend put up a fierce resistance to Canadians at this site. After the war, it was employed to train hundreds of pilots involved in the Algerian conflict and would become army base before returning entirely to civilian use in 2010. The reader will find here outstanding documentation about a military base that found itself at the heart of history.
