Seversky P-35 in Brussels.
Le Seversky P-35 a semble-t-il été présenté en Belgique fin des années 1930. Quelqu'un a-t-il plus de précisions quant à cette présentation ? Dans quel cadre, lieu (Aér Evere ?), dates, etc ???
De Seversky P-35 werd blijkbaar in België voorgesteld, zo rond einde v/d jaren 1930. Heeft er iemand meer info over die voorstelling ? In welk kader, waar (vliegveld Evere ?), datum, enz ??
The Seversky P-35 has seemingly been presented in Belgium sometime around the late 1930's. Does anyone have more information about this presentation ? In which circumstances, location (Evere airfield ?), dates, etc ???
Many Thanks ! D. Waelkens Didier.waelkens@skynet.be |

In the magical setting of the Royal Museum of the Army, the exhibition shows how many authors have drawn inspiration from history and military techniques. In visiting the exhibition, the public will go through all the collections of the Museum. Visitors will discover original and amusing showcases of items of the collections and how they are reflected in the comic strips. The two dimensions of the comic strip are thus juxtaposed to the real world.
