Hello,

Last week, we learned the sad news of the death of Louis.

Louis was another one of these unknown dedicated person who helped transform some dreams into a reality.

He helped Pierre Cryns to build the undercarriage of the Battaille triplane and build from scratch the wheels and the undercarriage of the de Caters

Louis was a car dealer and had an wide knowledge of mechanics. He was maybe the last person in this country able to manufacture by hand a tyre.

Comics attack at dawn

15.10.2008 - 28.02.2009

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.
