  • Quartier Mangin" Qui Deviendra Finalement La Terminologie Définitive
    De l'avion au char: le camp militaire Notre région a connu, depuis bien des siècles, les affrontements guerriers des hommes. Jules César déjà, dans ses récits (la Guerre des Gaules), narre ses combats contres les Belges, entre Corbeny et Berry-au-Bac. Depuis ces temps anciens, maintes fois, les populations de l’Aisne ont été meurtries et ont vu le sang se répandre sur leur sol. Les progrès matériels dans les armées n’ont cessé au cours des siècles de se développer. La première guerre mondiale est sans conteste la déflagration qui a le plus marqué les esprits ici, par son aspect technique, mais aussi par la présence de la ligne de front qui, durant quatre années, a coupé notre département en deux zones, l’une se trouvant occupée pendant de longs mois. L’aviation, cantonnée au début du conflit dans des rôles de reconnaissance, d’observation et de réglage de l’artillerie, est devenue rapidement une véritable « armée combattante ». La plaine laonnoise se prêtait naturellement à l’implantation de se que l’on appelait alors « des champs d’aviation ». Peut-on faire remonter à cette époque la première présence d’avions militaires dans notre ciel covéronnais ? Certes, ceux-ci se sont installés sur le territoire de Vivaise, mais si près de l’aérodrome actuel que l’on ne pouvait pas ne pas intégrer leur histoire à la nôtre. Il faut attendre la création en France de l’Armée de l’Air (1933) et la montée en puissance de cette jeune Armée face aux évènements observés en Allemagne pour que notre commune soit retenue pour accueillir l’aviation à cocardes tricolores.
