NARDIN CHEF DU PILOTAGE (8) TIMES WITH THE OFFICIAL HAND STAMPS OF THE ECOLE D'AVIATION MILITAIRE D'AMBERIEU LE CHEF DU PILOTAGE SERVICE DU PILOTAGE. AMBERIEU MILITARY AVIATION SCHOOL HEAD OF PILOTING DEPARTMENT. Capitaine Nardin was a significant figure in French military aviation, specifically serving as the Chef du Pilotage (Head of Pilot Training) at the major aviation school in Avord.In his capacity as Chief of Pilotage, Nardin was responsible for the training and qualification of new pilots. The Avord airbase was one of the primary centers for the Service Aéronautique (French Air Service) where future aces were formed.
As a senior instructor and flight leader, Nardin oversaw the training of many legendary French aviators. Most notably, he was the instructor for Georges Guynemer, one of France's most revered flying aces Guynemer was the. Second highest-scoring French fighter ace with 54 victories. Records indicate that Nardin personally signed off on Guynemer's pilot's license (Brevet) in 1915 after Guynemer was initially rejected multiple times for military service. Under Nardin's leadership, the training programs at Avord evolved to meet the rapidly increasing technical demands of aerial combat, transitioning from simple observation training to advanced fighter tactics. It is highly probable that Capitaine Nardin, a key figure in French military aviation during World War I, served at other training schools besides the main aviation school in Avord. While the Avord school was a primary center, the French military aviation system included several other significant training centers like Amberieu, and key personnel were frequently moved between them to meet the escalating demand for pilots and expertise. ["Centre d'aviation militaire" translates to "Military Aviation Center" or "Military Aviation School" in English, referring to a facility for training, operations, or administration of military aircraft and personnel, often within an army's air branch or a broader air force structure, focusing on combat, transport, and support roles]. 36 PAGES HAVE ENTRIES OF THE LOG BOOK'S 96 PAGES.DIMENSIONS: 4 1/4" x 6 1/16".
