Nieuport 17 & Breguet 14

Shot at Buc Aviation / Aéroparc Louis Blériot. The fate of this airfield was close to the Blériot-Aéronautique company which came to an end in the mid-1930s. Used by the Luftwaffe during the German military administration in occupied France during World War II, the airfield was the base of some troop carrier squadron of the USAAF in 1945. Then, too close to more active air base, it was limited to non public traffic (helicopter trials [end of 1940s] and ALAT base [until mid 1960s]) before final closure. This is now a public park.
