Understand
The airport started commercial operations in 1919 and was Paris's only airport until the construction of Orly in 1932. Le Bourget, London's Croydon (now demolished) and Berlin's Tempelhof (now a municipal park) were "the trio of Classic European airports" whose design influenced all others that came later. On May 8, 1927, the White Bird took off from Le Bourget and its pilots, Charles Nungesser and François Coli, hoped to reach New York City without stopovers. Unfortunately the plane disappeared without a trace. It was finally Charles Lindbergh who made the first air crossing of the North Atlantic between New York and Paris on May 21, 1927. He was welcomed as the "victor" of the North Atlantic, posing on his Spirit of St. Louis. An enormous crowd also welcomed Edouard Daladier on September 29, 1938, after the signing of the Munich Agreement signed between Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Italy represented respectively by Adolf Hitler, Edouard Daladier, Neville Chamberlain and Benito Mussolini (who had acted as intermediary).

Le Bourget é uma comuna francesa localizada no departamento de Seine-Saint-Denis na região da Ilha de França. Seus habitantes são chamados Bourgetins. Pequena vila antes da industrialização, Le Bourget conheceu algumas batalhas durante a Guerra Franco-Prussiana de 1870. No entanto, a comuna é mais conhecida por acolher o Aeroporto de Paris-Le Bourget, que é aberto ao tráfego nacional e internacional comercial não regular e aos aviões privados. Aberto em 1919, foi o primeiro aeroporto civil de Paris e continuou sendo o único até a construção do Aeroporto de Orly. A história da cidade também está fortemente relacionada com a aeronáutica. Le Bourget também abriga o Museu do Ar e do Espaço (em francês Musée de l’Air et de l’Espace) e recebe a cada dois anos o Salão Internacional da Aeronáutica e do Espaço (em francês Le Salon International de l’Aéronautique et de l’Espace).
