1916-2016: the battle of Verdun is still remembered today, suffering, war, the “poilus” or foot soldiers. What is less remembered is the advance in aviation and the beginning of the air war.
The exhibition, held in the temporary exhibition room, dedicated to aviation during the Great War showcases for you exceptional objects, and archival documents… It will highlight aviators, how they lived the battle, the aerial bombings. It will also outline the importance given by the press to the aerial part of the war which marked public opinion. This visit is no longer available but you can check our visits about heritage and our industrial and transport visits.
