Brussels Airport (veľký formát)

The History of Haren, Melsbroek and Zaventem Since 1979, Frans Van Humbeek has gathered a vast and unique collection of aviation documents and photographs. Today he is considered an authority on the rich history of Belgian aviation. The author is a member of the Belgian Aviation History Association and of the Belgian Association of Journalists of the Periodical Press. The author paints a picture of the history of the national airport. The opening scene shows the construction of the Zeppelin hangar on the airfield of Haren/Evere by the German forces. Shortly after World War I, civil aircraft started to use the airfield. The first actual terminals, still looking much like train stations, appear in the early Twenties. Then, after World War II, aviation activities are gradually moved to the airfield of nearby Melsbroek.
