When Le Havre comes to mind, one's first thoughts turn to its port and the maritime activity that made its reputation.

Gathered in this volume are more than two centuries of Le Havre's aeronautical history (from 1784!), retraced with the aid of an abundant collection of illustrations and accompanied by a text written by one of the foremost local specialists.

From the first aeronauts and aviation pioneers to the Great War in the air and the 1992 world championships, the reader will rediscover both celebrated and little-known chapters in the aviation history of Le Havre. This history is also, for over a century, that of an industrial adventure. Schneider, Bréguet, Snecma, Hispano-Suiza and now Safran-Nacelles — these are the companies that have shaped and continue to shape the aeronautical landscape of Le Havre, and which this volume sets out to present.
