Saints is a commune in the Seine-et-Marne department in the Île-de-France region in north-central France. ==History== Saints appears on early maps as ''Sanz''. It is an agricultural village perched above the Petit Aubetin River. For a short period of time, this village became the operating base of almost the entire US Air Service, the predecessor of the US Air Force. The 1st Pursuit Group was based in Saints for just short of two months – from July 8 to September 1, 1918 out of the seven months it saw combat. And for two weeks before that, the 1st Observation Group's 1st and 12th Aero Squadrons were based there. Two adjacent villages — Mauperthuis and Touquin — also play a role in the lives of these men and the US Air Service. The men were based in Touquin from the end of June until July 8, when they moved to Saints. And the men were lodged in Mauperthuis, half a mile from Saints, while they were flying out of Saints. Quentin Roosevelt was based here when he was shot down and killed. 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「Saints, Seine-et-Marne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
