History
The airport was opened in 1917 and, right from the beginning, also served as a base for the French air force. The national airline air France extended its network of flights to Europe and North Africa from the airport. During the Second World War, the airline, however, had to interrupt its entire timetable as the German army took over the airport in order to attack mainland England from here. In 1943, the American and English division were able to re-conquer the airport and force the German army to retreat further inland. In 1945, after the surrender of the 3rd Reich, the airport, which had been almost totally destroyed by the German army when it retreated, was again given over to the French air force. However only 6 years later, on 1st August 1951, the US-Air Force took over the airport grounds and developed it for NATO’s logistic operations. 10 years later, the US army returned the airport grounds to the French air force in a cost saving measure. Since then the airport has been used for civil and military operations in equal measure.
