The ''École de l'Air'' is a military school and grande école training line officers in the French Air Force. It is located at Salon-de-Provence Air Base in Salon-de-Provence, France. ==History== President Albert Lebrun created the ''École de l'Air'' by Presidential decree in 1933. The school's first class began training November 4, 1935. The school's motto, ''Faire Face'' ("Overcoming") is a tribute to Capitaine Georges Guynemer, a World War I fighter ace In 1937, the school moved into still-unfinished buildings in Salon, Bouches-du-Rhône. The outbreak of World War II forced the school to relocate several times from 1939 to 1945, to sites including Bordeaux, Collioure, and Marrakech. It was not until 1946 that the school returned to the now-completed campus at Salon. The school received the Legion of Honor and the ''Croix de Guerre'' from President Vincent Auriol in 1947. Other specialized schools joined the ''École de l'Air'', including the ''École du commissariat de l'Air'', which trains administrative, legal, and financial officers, in 1953, and the ''Cours Spécial de l'École de l'Air'' (CSEA), which trains exchange cadets from French-speaking African countries, in 1973. In 1969, the ''École de l'Air'' began an exchange program with the United States Air Force Academy, for eight cadets per school each year. The school first accepted women in 1976. Since 2008, The ''École de l'Air'' also proposes two ''mastères spécialisés'' courses in aviation safety aircraft airworthiness and aerospace project management in partnership with the ''École nationale de l'aviation civile'' and the ''Institut Supérieur de l'Aéronautique et de l'Espace''.〔(Aviation safety aircraft airworthiness (ENAC) )〕〔(Aerospace Project Management (ISAE - École de l'Air - ENAC) )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「École de l'air」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
