Third part of our series on the history of the relationship between Geneva aviation and international Geneva. Our guest is Jean-Claude Cailliez, a specialist in the history of Geneva's aeronautics, a Meyrinois who has documented more than 100 years of flight history in and around Geneva on his digital platform Pionnair-GE.

To go back to the roots of the relationship between airplanes and international Geneva, several notable events are commented on in this video, the first seaplane meetings in the Geneva harbor as well as the arrival of Charles Lindbergh and his wife Anne Morrow-Lindbergh on November 8, 1933. Without forgetting the arrival by seaplane of an Italian delegate of the League of Nations on August 26, 1928.
