About the Institution
The first class of our school, having been named captain of Guynemer during a baptism that the tradition continues since November 4, 1935 moved to Versailles in the barracks of Small Stables. It was not until October 1937 that The Trap can be established in Salon-de-Provence in buildings still unfinished. Then its war! Early promotions, just out of school, they did prove their motto of Captain Guynemer, Coping. When ringing the victory of 551 officers from the five first classes, 176 missing, fell on all fronts, from France, England, Italy, Russia and the Resistance. On 14 June 1946, the role of the School of the Air is recognized in a citation awarding the Cross of the Legion of Honor.
