16 May 1914

On 16 May 1914 the Angers-Avrillé airfield 260 kilometers southwest of Paris (aéroport d'Angers-Avrillé) began operation. The airfield was built on a 1.26 hectare plot of land donated to the city of Angers by the Comité d'Aviation de l'Anjou. The field operated until 1998 when it closed due to urban encroachment.
