With the support of many photographs, this book evokes the first developments of the civil and military aviation in Belgium from the installation of the air infrastructures by the occupant in 1914 on the plain of Haren-Evere, in the North-West of Brussels, to the moment when Sabena leaves it the shortly after the Second world war. The history of this airfield crosses the major moments of Belgian aviation: the establishment of a hangar for zeppelin, the creation of companies of aviation like Sabca and Sabena or the raid of Edmond Thieffry towards Africa. The book highlights its development, whose various phases of construction reflect the challenges posed by the evolution of aeronautics. It is the fruit of the consultation of exceptional files and a patrimonial study which made possible to release the architectural features of two principal constructions of the air terminal:
The main exploitation building of Sabena and the air terminal itself, become then respectively the Avia-Palace hotel and the general headquarter of the tactical command of the Belgian Air force. On these bases, the author compares these buildings with other constructions of similar function, in Belgium or abroad. This book will accompany two exhibitions which will proceed with the royal Museum of Army and military History in Brussels within the framework of the centenary of aviation in Belgium.
