De interneringen van vliegtuigen tijdens De Groote Oorlog
Because the Netherlands was neutral during the First World War, the fierce battle that raged to the south of the country largely passed us by. Nevertheless, the Netherlands regularly had to deal with the battle in the air over Belgium and northwestern France.
As the air war was fought with an increasing number of aircraft and sometimes also airships, it happened more often that these ended up over the Netherlands. As soon as the aircraft landed on Dutch territory or in Dutch territorial waters, the government proceeded to internment of aircraft and crews. This meant that they could no longer participate in the war.
"De Interneringen van vliegtuigen tijdens De Groote Oorlog" is a clear account of this important period in Dutch aviation history. The book consists of 335 pages, enriched with many images.
